Sanibel Island has amazing bike pathways--and from what we could see--no stop lights!! At one busy intersection where there was a farmer market going on, they had a traffic cop directing the traffic. We biked around for nearly 3 hours--
even getting to see a couple of these guys. Not sure what this fellow had in his mouth-just hope it wasnt a human leg!!! We left Sanibel and headed east up the Caloosahatchee River to Cape Coral. On the Great Loop forum, a free dock was advertised--so we thought --why not!!! Turns out--it was one of those lucky things you do!! Not only do we have a free dock with electricity, and WiFi, but were offered the use of the pool and shower--with our own private entrance!!
So here we are slumming it!!! You can just see the back of our boat at the dock. Kitty owns a beautiful house right on one of the many Cape Coral canals, in fact it was so nice we came back for a second night!! She is a working member of the United States Coast Guard Auxilliary, so has many boating stories to tell.
Here we are cruising up the canal to Kittys dock. Note--even Mr Teddy and Mz sheep are getting a bit tired of all this boating!! Tomorrow we head to the marina that will lift out our boat---we were to go there today, but found out their lift is broken--so hoping that it will be fixed by Wed. We have no internet connection at that marina--so this may be my last post of 2014. I was hoping to put a picture on the blog of the boat after it was pulled out--with, we hope, not too many barnacles attached to it! Thanks to all who have followed us--and we will resume again in Jan with more tall tales. For now we leave you with Christmas greetings.......
Sanibel style!!
