Day #178: From last night Mike and I started watching "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies". Up at 6:30 A.M. for coffee, grapefruit and sweet treats. We got ready heading to Englewood Beach. We walked from Englewood Beach to Stump Pass State Park. We saw Cownose rays and dolphins. I talked to Robin her friend from back home discussing plans for Robin and Nelson (Robin's husband) to come to Englewood on Saturday and Sunday for a visit. At 12:10 P.M. we headed to the pool. They were joined for a bit at the pool by Ed and Kyle. Beautiful day 82 degrees, sunny and breeze. At 3:30 P.M. Mike talked to the service department here at Aquamarina to get dates of when they are going to haul out "Parrot Bay" to do bottom paint. Mike was told that they would be pulling the boat out of the water on Monday, January 21 possibly out of the water until Friday, January 25. Patty booked a condo at Palm Island (the condos sit between the two basins of the marina) starting on Sunday, January 20th through Friday, January 25th. Time for blogging and college football bowl game at 5:15 P.M. followed by a quiet night at the marina.
