Wednesday April 28 - Pine Island, FL

Ridge and Denise live at St James City on Pine Island which is in between Sanibel Island and Cape Coral on the main land. Way out there! 


There are some cool restaurants and they are not far from Matlacha Island which is "old Key West" style. Lots of restaurants and art galleries. Last weekend we went to Waterfront Restaurant on Pine Island as they have Gulf oysters on the half shell at $12.95 a dozen. And we went again on this Saturday! We go early and catch the corner waterfront table with a cool mural on the outside wall and a waterfront view. And great oysters!


As we noted last post, we are anchored in the channel behind Ridge and Denise, which we have renamed for our purposes "Kaiser Channel". We were not sure if we could get in but we did at high tide leaving us with a low point of 3' below the keel. Plenty of water!
Look at that ICW mustache! Needs a cleaning!

The had an awesome kayak lift installed at their dock. They moved their kayaks over and tied them down so we could lower and raise the lift for our dinghy. Pretty cool. They also sometimes come by to visit or pick us up from their boat. 


Bruce and Ridge making a Summer Breeze run and Bella was not happy to be a dinghy crew member.

Rosie's business office today as she has a call from fellow gallery artist. 


We visited Pine Island Museum. Bruce is standing behind a manatee skeleton. They are huge. We have seen several in the area as this is a favorite hangout for them.
