Ft Meyers Fun and family

Well we had a wonderful time with Erwin's little sister Bonnie and her husband, Bill.  They are visiting Florida and drove to Ft. Meyers to spend some time with us.  It was great fun to catch up with them for a couple of days.  It was a first for both of them sleeping on the boat, but they are campers so it was not a hard transition for them.  Here is a picture of Solitude on the mooring at Ft. Meyers.

Here is her Big Brother taking us in the dinghy which of course, is our main transportation.

One of the things we did was check the crab pots and we were very successful.  Here is the picture of Uncle Bill and Erwin.

We took a hike on the beach the pier at Ft. Meyers Beach.

Here are the shrimp boats which are on the one of the shores off the mooring field.

Here is a picture of the mooring field one of the evenings on board.

We took Solitude out and up the Caloosahatchee River for a day trip with Bonnie and Bill.  It was a great day for a cruise.  We did not realize it would be a nature cruise though.  We spotted a couple of manatee and we also had a couple of dolphin that cruised for over 15 minutes on the bow wake of the boat.  Aunt Bonnie got some great video and both her and Bill were hanging over the edge of the bow watching them swim very effortlessly.  It was great fun.  We also spotted a sea turtle back in the mooring field!



Here is a picture of the light house as we cruised by Sanibel Island.

It looks like they enjoyed the trip!
