We stayed on Sanibel Island with some Illinois friends, that have rented a house on the island for the month of February. It's quite a nice 3 bedroom house and it was good to have a really big shower last night, compared to the rather small showers on Nonchalance.




Jay and Kay Strayer are long time Illinois friends and invited us over and took us to dinner at The Green Flash restaurant. The food was good, but I can't figure why they named it The Green Flash since you can't even see sunsets from the area of the restaurant.



This morning, we went to the beach there and it was a really great shelling beach, loaded with all kinds of shells. Kathy picked up a few for her collection, but of course, Kathy is loaded with seashells already so she only added a few of the more colorful ones.






This afternoon, cruised up to the Cayo Costa anchorage and the dolphins happily surfed our wake in the bays. We're staying here at the anchorage tonight, even though the temps are forecast to be only 41 degrees overnight here.... it just doesn't feel like Florida! We're going on to Sarasota tomorrow.
