Super Library

Thurs. Feb. 12, 2015
Matanza's Marina mooring field
Ft. Myers, FL

Today was cool, sunny and windy.  We headed to the library first thing. What a wonderful library.  It had a used book store and coffee shop with great sandwiches and wifi and a view to die for of the Gulf of Mexico. And that was just the 3rd floor. When we stepped off the elevator on the 3rd floor we saw the most adorable sand sculptures.  I will try to post a picture of it. We each picked out several used books to take on the boat with us, paid and ate at their coffee shop. We also availed ourselves of the free wifi to do some internet updates etc.

We left the library and gassed up the rental car and ran by the hardware for one last item then turned in the car. We would have had to wait about an hour for the shuttle back to the dinghy dock but nobody else was scheduled to come over the bridge to Ft Myers Beach so they brought us back immediately. We were back on the boat before 3.

We got the swivel light we bought yesterday installed today. The new LED bulb for the red/green bow light bulb we had ordered had arrived and we got it installed.  Got a cover put on the solar panel wires. Got the 2nd large propane tank on the boat and generally tied up some loose ends. Tomorrow we will finish those and be ready to take off Sat. morning.

My freezer is stuffed full. I am sure we won't starve while we are cruising, but my fresh water is about 3/4 empty.  We have a difference of opinion on what to do about that. Will let you know who wins that discussion.
