Tuesday - we had a leisurely
morning in Boca. We left the dock at 10
and crossing the marina channel right in front of us were Mandy and Jim from Shell Belle. They had left Venice earlier in the morning and just happened to intersect with us as we were heading to the main channel. I don't think we've seen them
since Green Turtle Bay. We will be
docked at the same marina, Legacy in Fort Meyers with them for the month of
December.

We arrived at our destination for three nights at Pink Shell
Marina in Ft. Meyers Beach. It is part of a large resort hotel. We had a bit
of a hard time trying to back into the assigned slip with the current and
wind. After three attempts of being rapidly pushed sideways to the slip, we requested
another slip where we could pull bow in.
That did the trick.

| I love these signs. They seem to be all over Florida and each one points down to paradise |

For the
reasonable price of the dock space we enjoyed all the amenities of the hotel:
beautiful white sandy beach, complete with complimentary towels, chairs and umbrellas, three pools and a well equipped fitness room to name a few. We could even take Millie on the beach with us! Tuesday afternoon, all day Wednesday and all day Thursday, we enjoyed all the luxuries of the resort. Long walks on the beach with Millie, dips in the pools, working out in the fitness room and just lazing on the beach watching the sunset. The weather
was sunny every day in the high 70s with a nice breeze. Pure bliss!
