The other day, Randy was asked (and volunteered) to go up a sailboat mast in a bosun’s chair. For those not knowledgeable about sailing stuff (like me), a bosun’s chair is a harness-like chair that lifts a person up a mast in order to do work. Our friend, Tom, had a few things he needed …
Living Aboard
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, …
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 …
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 …

The Shrimp Festival, sponsored by the Lions Club, has been held each year since 1959 with all proceeds going to local Lions Club charities. The event has it’s own parade, Shrimp Festival Queen and court, crafts expo and food booths with, shrimp …
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. …
So, we did get a great start on the wood restoration last week. Progress has come to a halt because of those “pesky jobs” we have. Randy has promised to continue the work on our wood rails this week. So, I have some random photos…
Last Saturday, February 2nd our marina, Snook Bight, hosted an Open House to celebrate the completion of the floating docks. It was a grand party with people coming from all over by boat, car and bikes. It was a festive day around the docks with food, drink, raffles and even a golf contest where folks …
Ok, so I’ve been waaaayy too busy with work to even think about boat projects to post here, but…I do have a new techie toy (yay!). I recently acquired a wide angle lens for my Canon SLR. I decided to get the Canon EF-S 10-22mm (I have a crop sensor camera) to broaden my viewable …
Last weekend was sort of eventful. Other than our day at Big Carlos Pass, we had 2 birthdays in our marina: Tom and Bill. Tom’s birthday was actually last Friday, January 11th and Bill’s was the following Friday…so, of course, we had to make it a weekend long event. A group of us decided to …
