It's been almost a month since I posted anything. But this month has flown by. Even though we've been stuck in Port all but two days of it it's been quite interesting to live the life of the boat bums.
St Patty's in Fort Myers and crossing the Okeechobee Waterway and repair work on the boatand the Edison Ford estates are all that stands out. Here are some pictures of this time.

Fort Myers yacht basin, built by the CCC  in 1938. We lived here for almost a month.

Edison built a Workshop so that he could continue to work even while he was in the south on vacation. Notice the jackshaft to the left to run all of the equipment. Everything was run by a series of pulleys and belts.

We want Remmy in this Palm Garden almost almost everyday. The garden was built just two years after I was born in 1955. It was fun to see Palms from all over the world.

Yes, Allen even some Steeler fans. This girl's dad grew up in Pittsburgh and still loves the Steelers.

Easter with friends who also had boat problems. 

 A very rare sight. A baby manatee was born in the dark area just hours before we saw took this picture. Mama would push his head up to make sure he breathed.
