Aquamarina Palm Harbour Marina in Cape Haze, Florida
Day #167: Up at 6:30 A.M. for coffee, grapefruit and sweet treats. At 9:30 A.M. Bruce, Bev, Mike and I headed out in the rental car bound for Port Charlotte. Mike and I went to Best Buy as Mike's computer died. Little did the two of us know that we needed to have an appointment before the Geek Squad will talk to you about issues with your computer. The first appointment that the Geek Squad had was today at 3:20 P.M. which wasn't going to work. So Mike made an appointment for Tuesday at 10:00 A.M. The two of us also looked at a 12 inch I-Pad for navigation. Bruce and Bev picked up Mike and I as they had headed to do some Christmas shopping. The four of us than headed to Fisherman's Village in Punta Gorda. Mike, myself, Bruce and Bev browsed the shops while enjoying the Christmas atmosphere as Fisherman's Village was all decorated for Christmas. The four then went to Harpoon Harry's Lounge & Raw Bar for lunch which is on Charlotte Harbor so they enjoyed looking out onto the water during lunch. After lunch the four headed back to the marina. Mike worked on redoing the lines for "Parrot Bay's" davit system for the dinghy. At 4:00 P.M. a dolphin was in the marina chasing fish. At 4:10 P.M. Ken and Karen from "Island Girl" came to drop off Karen's famous pecan bars. Bruce and Bev joined us for happy hour. Following happy hour the six of us went to dinner at Waterside Grill at Gasparilla Marina which is down the road from Aquamarina Palm Harbour. All had a great time and great dinner. After dinner Ken and Karen headed back to Sarasota while Bruce, Bev, Mike and I headed back to the marina. On the "Parrot Bay" it was time for blogging and reading.
