After we returned Monday from our weekend out on the mooring ball, my parents came into Snook Bight the following day, Tuesday. It was their anniversary, and since they were already on Fort Myers Beach, they decided to come to Snook Bight to stay a night and have a celebratory dinner at Bay Front Bistro, …
We haven’t been off the dock since our New Years Trip to Cayo Costa and Palm Island Marina so we decided to take a very short cruise from Snook Bight Marina to the Matanzas Harbor Mooring Field on Fort Myers Beach. Randy and I have stayed on my parent’s boat Island Time on a ball …
Friday evening, Randy, Corey and I were invited by Tom, Mary Kay and Maddie to go on a sunset sailing cruise. Mary Kay has a little 21′ sailboat perfectly sized for her and Maddie to take out on weekends or perfectly sized for a small group sailing excursion. This was Randy and Corey’s first ever …
So, St. Patrick’s Day has come and just about gone, but Randy and I had a wonderful time on Fort Myers Beach. We began our day by sleeping in (until 8:30ish) with plans to go on a brunch cruise on the Indian Princess. We had a fairly large group from the marina going on the …
Yesterday, we celebrated Corey’s 9th birthday by renting the largest sized pontoon boat that Snook Bight has. We loaded it up Corey’s friends and family (a total of 8 kids, 8 adults and one winer dog), a cooler, chairs and fishing gear. We did this last year for his birthday as well but rented a …
This past Wednesday, we had a dock party to celebrate the March birthdays in our marina. There were 3 we celebrated: Kathleen, Inga and John. We converged on D dock around 5pm while Tom and Bill shucked oysters. We each brought a dish or appetizer and enjoyed the evening entertainment. Kevin played Happy Birthday on …
So, after all the fun we had last weekend, it was time to get back to work. For me, this meant diving head-first into my laptop (I had to really work). Randy is still on vacation so he and his dad spent about a day and a half this week refinishing our lower decks. Our …
After our long day at the Fort Myers Beach Shrimp Festival and the time change, we slept in this morning. We had our coffee up on the bridge and enjoyed the start of another gorgeous day. Since it was just Randy and I during the day, we packed a cooler, grabbed our beach chairs and the …
This weekend, we had our first experience with the Fort Myers Beach Shrimp Festival. The Shrimp Festival, sponsored by the Lions Club, has been held each year since 1959 with all proceeds going to local Lions Club charities.

Since Randy has some time off before starting a new job, we’ve been taking advantage of him being able to dig into some boat projects. One of things he started working on already is the restoration of our exterior wood. Several days ago, Randy patched the holes and cracks with and epoxy and Life Caulk. …
I say “finally” because we are a couple of weeks late to the Mardi Gras party…it is pretty much over. But do we care? Um, not so much. We had our usual Sunday evening dock party today, but Mary Kay set the theme a Mardi Gras, complete with her homemade seafood gumbo and shucked oysters. …
