Temperature was going to be ok for today, but the winds were still
blowing. We attempted to go to Boca
Grande, but after battling 3-4 foot waves for 3 miles we turned around and went
back to the marina. Then we went to Joe’s
friends house in Cape Coral to explore the possibility of leaving the boat at
their house (they live on a boat road/canal).
They have a very fine house. They were discussing the plans to demolish
this fine home to rebuild it 6 inches higher to meet “code”. It was either that or do a $400,000 remodel. After
visiting them we went to the historic downtown district of Fort Myers
waterfront and had lunch at Fords Garage.
After lunch we walked over to the actual waterfront which is on the
Caloosahatchie River. There, much to our
surprise/shock/amazement, were the Nina and Pinta, two of Christopher Columbus’
ships from his discover America Cruise.
These two replica ships have been many places where we have been. Wherever
we go, there they are! (quite amazing). Now it had started raining. So in this rain, the five of us went to Cactus
Jack’s for dinner. They initially seated us under a thatch roof, which was
dripping all over us, so we moved. The
live jazz music was good and the food tolerable.
