Up river on the Caloosahatchee River! (Try to say that quickly 3 times) Next
stop the City of Fort Myers Yacht Basin, within walking distance to downtown. We spent a week rocking and rolling on fixed
docks, but pleasant and reasonably priced all the same. Both Mark and I took advantage of the quaint
little yellow boathouse hair salon, trying to spruce ourselves up for our trip
back home. The salon was moored right at
the city dock and we left feeling civilized once again. Chores had to be done and plans for haul-out
had to be solidified.
After a week we moved next door to Legacy
Harbour Marina, complete with floating docks and a pool. This is a popular place for looper boats to
rest for a time. Thanks Jill (Last
Dance), for inviting me on a shopping day trip using your car – don’t think all
those groceries would have fit on the bikes!
Friends Solange and Glenn made
the 3 hour trek from their winter home in Fort Lauderdale to spend an afternoon
visiting. What a treat!
While in Fort Myers, we couldn’t pass up
the chance to visit the 14 acre riverfront Edison and Ford Winter Estates. Well I think Mark could, but I dragged him
along just the same. The following
pictures are just a sample of the vibrant and diverse gardens belonging to the
estate property. No wonder the Edison
and Ford families travelled to this tropical paradise every winter season.
