Well we are on the way again, down to Sanibel Island which we missed coming up to Sarasota.Seas were not too bad around 1 to 2 feet and we left at a leisurely 11 am.We were able to get the last slip in the marina as another boat had just left for Key West.Sometimes the marinas have lots of room and other times they are full .Seems this time of year is more busy, lots of transients who stay longer periods in the marinas.Parked right outside Grandma O's Restaurant where we went for dinner.Lots of fish on the menu .Had an early night .
Next morning 4 th Feb ,we got a couple of the marina bikes and explored some of the Island. Lots of good cycle tracks here.Sanibel is about 12 miles long similar size to Manhattan. Beaches are white sand and lots of shells.Favorite pastime seems to be shell collecting here. We also went to a historical village which gave us a great sense of life on the island back in the early 1900's.Lots of old houses in style of that time period ;a school house,store, even a Sears kit set house which was surprisingly roomy.Had a quick lunch then headed to Fort Myres . It only took 2 hours to get there.The Legacy Marina recommended by Mary Jane and Scott was perfect.Floating docks( my favorite) and a lovely view out on the water and the sunsets.Also close to Publix my go to supermarket.We had two nights here so we could watch the Super Bowl!The first night we ate at Joes Crab Shack and had a great meal.SuperBowl Sunday we decided to go after lunch to a big Arts Festival they had near the waterfront.Had fun time wandering around looking in the stalls , lots of unusual art work and most of the artists were the on hand to explain it all.Loved being able to watch the super bowl on our TV. It was in HD and nice and clear. We ate superbowl fare including chicken wings .Great game both teams deserved to win judging from the score.
Go Giants! Sorry Patriots.
