We began the day with another glorious sunrise. We were only a mile or so from the Wilson Piggott Bridge, but just before the bridge we headed into the canal where our friends from the Gemini, Freedom, had made an offer on a home. They bought it sight unseen (except for photographs) and were in the process of trying to work out the details related to insurance before they could close on the deal. We talked to Jim on the phone as he directed us to the right property. Jim and Deb had been hung up in Myrtle Beach for the last two weeks as their engine was being rebuilt and were anxious to get on their way so they could see the house.
We traveled 35 miles to Fort Myers Beach, took on fuel at Moss Marine and then headed over to Snook Bight Marina where we had arranged for a slip for a month. We settled in and at 4 pm we went for a walk on the beach. The dock hand at the marina told us we were only about a mile from the Holiday Inn where the annual sandcastle building contest had taken place over the weekend. We were hoping to be able to see the sculptures before the wind and rain took care of them. And after a 2+ mile walk, we arrived and got a few photos before the sunset. Some of the pictures looked more like snow sculptures than sand and reminded us of the cold weather back in the Midwest.
Before hiking back to the marina, we stopped at the Holiday Inn’s Tiki Bar and enjoyed the happy hour there with a couple of drinks and the best chicken wings we’d ever tasted.

Great looking green heron. Reminds me of another boat soon to be moving south.
