Day #263: From last evening Mike beat me at cribbage. The two of us were up at 6:30 A.M. for coffee, grapefruit, cookies and blueberry muffins. Mike and I decided to take a walk for some exercise heading to the Publix so that Mike could get a couple of limes. The two of us walked back to the marina to get ready for an outing in Cape Coral to see Ray and Caryl from "Houlegan Again". At 11:45 we left Aquamarina heading to Cape Coral after a small detour we arrived at Ray and Caryl's home at 1:15 P.M. Mike and I brought champagne to toast Ray and Caryl's platinum loop. After a tour of their beautiful home the four of us headed to the tiki bar/hut in their back yard that Ray built. The four of us caught up on how each couple has been doing since we saw each other last at Homeport Marina in Gulf Shores, AL. Ray and Caryl were very willing to share information from their looping adventures. After a few beverages the four of us headed to Bert's Bar & Grill in Matlacha. Ray, Caryl, Mike and I had a great meal while looking over the water and listening to a steel drummer play music. After dinner the four headed to Bert's Pine Bay Gallery for some shopping where Mike and I each bought t-shirts. After shopping we headed back to Ray and Caryl's home as it was 5:30 P.M. so Mike and I packed up heading back to Aquamarina Palm Harbour. After returning to the boat the two of us had a cocktails onboard while the dolphins were hunting fish in the marina basin. It was then time for blogging and reading.
