Beautiful day for a short cruise before heading North for the summer. Had to cancel our Bahama plans this year due to health issues but there is always next season.
Mystic Lady and crew need a few days on the water and it looks like a good time to take off.
Gotta get back to Kentucky before our Memorial Day Harley Ride with Jimmy, Alison, and the whole Harley Group.
Once we were all settled in at Fort Myers Beach we unloaded the tender and took a long ride with Annie. She loves to ride in the tender.
A nice day for a water outing but storms are coming in tomorrow tonight and rain for tomorrow so we get'r'done today.
Annie says Thank You, Thank You.
Good shot of Mystic Lady as she sits on a Mooring Ball in the bay behind Ft Myers Beach.
Gotta get moved over to the "Pink Shell" Resort/Marina before the storms move in.
Gonna play the "Tourist Game" for a few days. Beach sittin' while the sun shines and a nice dinner for Christine's birthday.
Lunch at poolside.
This Resort is one of the finest in the area. The place is gorgeous, looks a lot like a Disney development but it isn't.
Service is excellent and the marina is super. Harbormaster Dave O'Connor is stop shelf.
A little Beach Time before the storms move in. The wind is whipping pretty good now.
Only a few die-hards are still in the water. We watched a couple try to take a kayak out but never got past the waves.
Several jet-skiers were still out.
We had a beautiful Birthday Dinner at "Jacks", an upscale restaurant at Pink Shell.
We only mentioned once at the Marina sign-in that it was Christine's birthday.
That message must have made it to the chef because they presented us with this complimentary dessert after dinner.
Like I said the Dockmaster is top-shelf.
"Cinco De Mayo"
Five dollar Margarita's and Two dollar Tacos was our bargain lunch today at the Pier Walk on Ft. Myers Beach. Complete with live music...Bob Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Johnny Cash all wrapped up in one guy.
Topped that off with Brown Derby's from Dairy Queen. Does anybody know what a Brown Derby is?
Another great day with two of my favorite girls.

Just another day in Paradise.....
Watching the Pirate Ship go by Ft. Myers Beach...
Beautiful (but windy) day on the beach.
My little "Chick Magnet" Annie is up to her old tricks again.
This time she reeled in three beauties from Chicago.
Man, I love this dog.
MAY 7, 2017
An 8:00 am walk on the beach, what a beautiful day. The storms passed thru and left us with dry air, warm temps, and finally the wind calmed down.
Ft. Myers beach is great. The Pink Shell Resort/Marina is perfect for us.
Heading back to Ft. Myers today so gotta go check out and cruise back up the river.
Christine said she had a wonderful birthday weekend.
Christine pulling in the dock lines as we leave Pink Shell. Lots of traffic today, perfect boating day.
This is as we round Bowditch Point at Ft. Myers Beach.
Fishing fleet coming in after all night fishing.
Now she gets in a little "Captain time" as I go down below to test the water maker and other systems before we put Mystic Lady up for the summer.
This has been a good sea trial for the boat since we didn't do a lot of cruising this year. Seems our doctors had other plans for us this season.
I don't think we have ever seen this much traffic before.
Looks like everybody with a boat decided to take advantage of this beautiful day.
Click on the picture to enlarge it and get a better idea of the number of boats....Unbelievable
