Sea Dweller
Bryan and Mary, Ft Myers
We visited Bryan and Mary in Ft Myers over the weekend.
And just like any boat, there are always boat projects.
Sea Dweller is an older boat, older than Summer Breeze and was in need of many projects which Bryan has been tackling on his times off. Here, the crew were helping him mark lengths of the anchor chain with colored zip ties. That lets us know how much chain we have dropped in the water when lowering the anchor. They had to pull out all 180' of chain and drape it across the walk.
Then, next was the dive operation where he was determined to find the pressure washer hose tip he had dropped. No, it was not recovered but he was able to do some needed measurements on the keel and show Bruce how to use the hookah dive apparatus which we will use in the Bahamas.

What a feast! A sushi and sashimi boat for 2 at Krazy Fish in Ft Pierce.
We almost ate it all but just couldn't quite accomplish it.

I reworked the lighthouse painting a bit, but only the sky and I lowered the background shrubs.
Cape Florida Light
The birds are plentiful here! As are the manatees and dolphins.
This is a Snowy Egret which came close to extinction in the late 1800s because the long delicate plumes (developed during breeding season) which were used for ladies hats.
(I painted her yesterday but haven't photographed yet.)
Wednesday Market Days, on the plaza at the marina gates.
This one is not near as large as the Saturday market. Fresh baked goods, farm fresh eggs, home made jams, jewelry, hats, clothing (island wear) and of course, CBD oil products. Oh and Kettle Korn!

The Tiki Bar here at the marina is scheduled to be demolished in the next month or so. Seems that it has been bought out and the new owners have other plans. Amazing to us since this place is always, always packed.
We also enjoyed dining at 12A Bouy (where we went for a late lunch on Thursday and still had almost an hour wait!) and also The Rooster in The Garden when Becky and Charles came to visit last night.
St Patricks Day Eve on Saturday
It is a lazy Saturday for us. We planned on staying in today and actually doing the St Paddy thing on Sunday. It's a misty rainy kind of day and as we are relaxing on the hammock and reading, we hear music. So I googled the place we think it is coming from and they are having a St Patricks Day Block party, so off we go, with our rain jackets. The band was excellent as were the impromptu dancers. We stayed just for a bit as the rain started up and had dinner plans at home all set. We hope to do St Paddy's day on Sunday in town, which is literally just steps from where we are!
That March 11 sunrise photo is spectacular.
