  Monday was spent recovering from the Gulf Crossing.  We were able to get some boat chores done before collapsing for the evening.  Angie did laundry and Dan washed "Seahorse" which was like a block of salt after crossing the Gulf (Margaritas anyone?).  We also made an itinerary change.   Instead of leaving the boat in Fort Myers, FL for the Christmas trip back north, we decided to leave "Seahorse" here at Marker 1 Marina.  We will be able to enjoy this area for a little longer and leisurely make our way to Fort Myers when we return.  


  
  Tuesday was a "Frenchy's kind of day".  We took a walk around the area and had lunch at Frenchy's Outpost Bar & Grill.  A Cajun grouper sandwich was enjoyed.  The afternoon was spent working on our Christmas list ideas, doing some of our Christmas shopping online, and putting up our Christmas tree and newly purchased lights and decorations.  For the evening meal we went back to Frenchy's with about 6 other Looper couples.  This time tacos were the choice - one fish and one pork.  The food was so good we suspect we'll go back again.

  Wednesday we went to Honeymoon Island beach with Mark & Becky on "Mara Beel".  The island used to be called Hog Island until 1939 when a New York developer built fifty palm-thatched bungalows for honeymooners.  The name was then changed to Honeymoon Island - probably a better choice. Who would want to spend their honeymoon on an island called Hog Island?  We relaxed and watch the waves roll in, and, for a little exercise, we took a nice stroll on the beach.

  Many couples joined together for a pot luck dinner.  There was good food, great company, and lots of laughs.  How many cooks does it take to grill all the meat?  Apparently quite a few.  What a fantastic evening.
