Harry Potter at the IMAX - Nov 19 - Saw the new Harry Potter film with friends at the IMAX in Fort Myers.
Tunnel of Love - Nov13
The dinghy squeezed through the narrow Tunnel of Love as we jockeyed around sawed-off mangrove branches using our paddles to paddle, pole or fend off. Once completely covered, the tunnel is now mostly open to the sky. It leads one from the East side of Cayo Costa Island to a lagoon near the gulf side. See the Google Earth photos on the right.
The tunnel lies WSW of Cabbage Key about two nm South from Pelican Bay where we anchored Eagle's Wings for the weekend. We pushed through on a rising tide with sometimes only a few inches of water under the dinghy's keel. An osprey flew overhead clutching a fish dinner while ibises watched us from the mangroves. As we approached the lagoon still hidden by twists and turns of the shallow stream, the sounds of waves washing ashore filled our ears. We landed on the lagoon shore and walked across the dunes to the beach to walk with pelicans and shore birds about.

Longboat Key Bike Ride - Nov 8
Monday's activities included a pleasant seven mile ride along Longboat Key to Joan Durante Community Park and back with the IYC bike group, small talk at the PGIslander's bimonthly social and listening to Team Punta Gorda's annual State of the City address at the Civic Center.
Nov 7th - MLLW - We are still afloat at low tide after North winds blew the water away for the first time since we moved to Lido Drive . We expect periodic bouts of low water and chilly below 70 F weather till next spring.
We drove 20+ miles up to the Crows Nest Marina Friday to sleep overnight on Rob & Sue's catamaran, Catalyst. How people with no money can buy fine art, I don't know but we did. We now have three metal pieces from Garner Metal Art hanging in our foyer.
