After traveling for five weeks with Bob and Barbara (Docktari), this morning (Friday, March 18th), we both left the marina in Fort Myers Beach, and went our separate ways. It wasn't easy to see them head in the other direction! We feel so lucky that they were our traveling companions in the beginning of this trip; they helped us in so many ways, and we had so much fun swapping stories, sharing meals and drinks, exploring, shopping, and plotting our next moves with them. And they have the same boat! We will really miss their company. They are going to Key West and then the Bahamas, and we are headed for the Caloosahatchee River and Lake Okeechobee.
We wish them fair winds and following seas
and hope to see them again some day!
Patrick returned from Key West last night, with lobster in an insulated bag!

| Goodbye Bob and Barbara! Have fun! Be safe! |

| Fort Myers/San Carlos Bay |
 |
| In the river now, this train bridge stays open unless a train is coming. |
 |
Franklin lock, but we only moved up about two feet.
Not like the 85 ft. lock we went through in November! |
 |
| Instead of a floating bollard, they just threw us a line. |
 |
| Here are the lobster that Patrick caught while he was diving in Key West. |

Tonight Patrick cooked the lobster and we had it with morel mushroom soup that we brought
from a restaurant in Fort Myers Beach. What a delicious meal! |
