We are really nice to be staying in a place that is in a great location, only a few miles from the things we are wanting to do here and under $20 a night....but it probably takes us 1/2 hour to get out of this darn Resort!!! Not because it's so big...(which it is big...there must be about 1500 modular/rv sites) and so big that they want you to ride your bikes/golf carts with the traffic.....but so many one-way streets and so many dead-end streets and an equal amount of rules and signs and no dog here-no dog there-don't do this...don't do that....it's mind boggling....

While George and Joe went out to try to replace our RV Antenna that blew off the trailer a few weeks ago...I went for a little ride around the site...in search of this really cool tree that I knew T would love to paint one day....Start painting T...there are more to come...





Today we booked a  2 1/2 hour sailboat with Magic Wind, 
someone I found on Trip Advisor which we use often....no this is not boat...


This is the sailboat...and Dan and Dianne were our trusted sailors for the day...and they were awesome.  They only take 6 passengers...and we were so lucky to have a private sail today...





 We weren't out very long before we saw the first dolphin a ways behind the boat...hope to see more a bit closer...




It was my idea to go sailing....
but not really my idea to stand at the front of the boat for a picture...
wee bit terrified....no sea legs for me!!!


And....I made it!!! briefly...then back down on my butt for the rest of the sail...



We did see dolphins again....one so close it went right under the front of the sailboat....exactly where I was sitting at the time...so cool. And then shortly after we saw a pod of them....off the front of the sailboat again...feeling lucky...



An amazing day for a sail......

Seeing as we still had lots of time left before our "Gracie Curfew"....we decided to walk around Ft. Meyers Beach area for a while..


...easy to tell what we have been wearing on our feet the past few weeks...

????? really??? who does this???


We heard from our waitress the other night that this is "Ft. Meyer's Party Place"....just by looking at it you can tell it's set up to party!!! Spring Break here is a "gong show" apparently!!!

It is pretty neat looking...each floor is painted differently!






Finished off eating dinner at this place...we had eaten here in 2013 and the menu had 400 items!!!! Yes 400!!!! since then new owners have taken over....shaved it down to 200 items....and from what Dan and Dianne said the food is still great! and it didn't disappoint!!

    Hey Linda... your middle names wouldn't happen to be "Chicken Shit" by any chance would they?? At least you weren't wearing a life jacket this time, but maybe one should have?? It's going up to 26C this weekend and snow melt is causing all kinds of problems.
    Gas is $1.62 a litre in Vancouver, highest price ever in North America. $1.45 in Vernon, oil going up and up. Do you want me to put George's licence in a bottle and put it in the North Thompson river and let it make its way down there? Maybe find it on your next sailboat ride?? Ha, ha.

    Yup...that is for sure my middle name!!! That's a nice temperature but yeah...not for the snow melt...hopefully it's not too bad. I just heard gas is supposed to be going up here too, yikes. I guess he does need that licence...gotta get on that!!

It's been windy for quite some time....like weeks...this morning it's pretty calm...but they are calling for more wind in the afternoon..... Decided to ride our bikes into St. George and check it out...really small casual little beach city... More white sandy beaches....this time with lots of shells...spent a good hour shell hunting... We saw lots of crab holes in the ground...apparently they are called "ghost crabs" and they only come out at night and they are almost transparent.. I was so excited when I spotted this shell.....but somebody was inside... and this baby crab on the outside!!! They have these really cute "tiny narrow rental homes".... these are the first skinny homes we have seen!! Saw dolphins in the distance for the first time today....super excited....George has to "make me move one" ....because I could stay all day and watch them... Biked out on the fishing bridge....this one goes out qui...

Today is the day....we must leave New York....it`s been great... it`s been expensive....and it`s time to go... Gracie may have wanted to visit this place...but no Dog Spa for her... Today is also the day we will part paths with Brother Joe...we will head West....because we must....he will have another direction...we will miss him....has been a great time travelling with him. It took us almost an hour to wind our way out of Jersey City...it was raining...and I swear Roxanne had us going in circles....there was detour after detour...and some ridiculously narrow streets.....but we made it......we had no idea where we were...the skies were grey and dismal and we just seemed to be going around and around..... And then this crazy horrible sign appeared...WTF....WEST!!! What is that!!!! It wasn`t long before we left the busy streets for rolling hill of trees...it is just so green and so hilly.... I love this one...it`s the first we have ever seen...... ...

It's a pretty fitting day to leave the beach...it's raining....it's still warm...but it's still raining.... Taking a ferry today instead of dealing with the traffic...won't take any time off our trip...but will take the miles off our trip...cost wise...not too sure...but if it can eliminate a few hours on the road in the city...it's worth it. This bird decided to build a nest in the busiest place ever!!! Right at the Ferry Terminal... And all along the way....Dophins.....Yay!! I will never tire of seeing them playing in the water! So before long we are on the New Jersey Turnpike.... which just means .....toll....after toll.....after toll.... and you have no idea which lane you are supposed to be in... Nightmare! Marty!!!.... You will love this....... You know all those American dimes and nickels I was saving.... Finally had a chance to use them.... Oh the look on his face when I gave him $6.00 in dimes and nickels!!! W...
