So, today Joell and I are very happy to have a slip at Pink Shell Marina.. Just after Christmas there's an influx of thousands of people coming to Fort Myers Beach (FMB)....

We rode our bikes through Time Square where they have the trinket shops and bars and went just a little further to the Hot Dog Stand... We had a Chicago dog each and split a basket of fries..... very good... Then we road back to the boat... Mike wanted to stop for a Bloody Mary at the Mermaid Bar but Joell didn't think she would make it back after that, in the heat. It was sunny and in the 80's

Below you'll find various boats that cruise past us... this is a slow, no wake zone but we've seen boats on full plane and most just plowing through here throwing a wake on the entire marina with no regard for others... Once in a while the Coast Guard, Police or Sheriff's boat will cruise through and pull over or just verbally warn the boats....but we've seen no tickets given out...

To my brother Ken which requested daily postings... well... "Bite Me"

Here's the pirate ship going out...

Coasty cruising through...

Shrimp boat heading out...

A nice Sea Ray...

This guy must get paid for advertising on his big sign...

Fast boats...

Thousands of Center Console boats...

Oh, a lot of Hurricane Boats here...this guy's on the wrong side of the green marker...and throwing a nice wake...

Lots of Parasail Boats

Mark E. - this Formula slash/ family boat is sweet....

I have no idea what this is...

Looks nice though...

Power and more Power boats (we see a lot of these in many different bright colors)

The Pirate ship coming back...

Mike wants us to be armed on the front of our boat, next time and pretend we are fighting back. He already has the eye patch. We are going into Time square tomorrow for the wooden swords.😊
