Day 273: Bokeelia, FL Sunny, breezy and hot. Walked to the pier, as usual, but we haven’t gone on the pier in days. It was breezy. Sat on the porch and knitted another tiny sweater. I helped Tom net a large catfish. The fish made a croaking sound out of the water. Tom says many... Continue Reading →

Day 272: Moyer Lane, Bokeelia, FL Sunny and hot. No breeze today. Did our usual walks to the end of the island where the pier is, but we haven't been on the pier in almost a week, as it's only been open to paying fishermen. Watched lizards or geckos. Saw three dolphins, and what looks... Continue Reading →

Day 270: Bokeelia, FL Partly cloudy and breezy. I scrubbed Arvi’s bathroom and the floor. I swept under the carport and tended to some plants. We washed some clothes and hung them out to dry. We have to make sure to bring them in before the humidity (and no-see-ums) roll out in the evening. There... Continue Reading →

Day 269: Bokeelia, FL Sunny and hot. This is duck mating season in Bokeelia. First time I’ve seen that activity. I don’t know what else we did. Talked on the phone. Then we went for a boat ride later in the day. We started watching the I Claudius video set I got from the women’s... Continue Reading →

Day 268: Bokeelia, FL Sunny and hot. We put the boat in the water at the Bocilla Island Seaport in Bokeelia. (We walk by it every day.) We heard that many boat ramps in Florida are closed, but this one is still open. So that was easy enough and $10 away from free! There is... Continue Reading →

Day 267: DeBary, FL Sunny and hot. First thing in the morning, we set out from DeBary to Bokeelia with the boat. A panhandler remarked that we were “rich snowbirds.” We missed a turn and ended up in downtown Orlando. So now we’ve seen that! Again, not much traffic. When we did our daily walk...

Day 266: Bokeelia, FL Sunny and hot. Took our morning walk to the pier, and to the bridge to Bokeelia. We bought breakfast at Capt’n Con’s “curbside service” and ate at a picnic table set up in their parking lot on the water. Best omelette and hash browns ever! After talking to Ray’s family, we...

Day 265: Bokeelia, FL Sunny, breezy, hot. Being somewhat of an introvert, I don’t have a problem finding things to do while staying home. I still haven’t spent more than a few minutes knitting. And I could do a lot of photograph sorting and labeling on my laptop. So far I am content. But we... Continue Reading →

Day 264: Bokeelia, FL Sunny, breezy and hot. Our odyssey of visiting the natural and historical sites of the United States has ended. It is now an odyssey of traveling in an RV and making it home to Michigan one day during the largest crisis of our lifetimes. No more touring. Today we managed to... Continue Reading →
