End of Summer at Useppa

We joined cruisers from Isles Yacht Club at Useppa Island for an "end of summer" celebration. Useppa provided a pig roast and music at the pool by "Jamacia Man."  With a favorable tide we motored down the harbor in record time on Friday and beat the heat two ways - either in the pool or stowed away in our air conditioned boat. Bleu Kitty walked the dock on his leash and visited with boat dogs early in the mornings.  We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Collier Inn Friday night and a sumptuous pot luck dinner on the deck of the Tarpon Bar Saturday night. 

On Sunday we actually sailed most of the way home.  While we enjoyed our pleasant sail home, we were instantly drenched in sweat as we tied up at our dock.  Summer hasn't ended here in Punta Gorda! 

Thanks to our friend, Carol Akerman, who snapped the photo of Eagle's Wings on on way home.
