Sunday Morning Boat Ride
We started the week off nicely with a sunrise boat ride. The seas were as calm as a therapists’ dialogue and the waterways were as vacant as a Detroit neighborhood as we relentlessly but casually powered ahead at a steady 8 knots.







As long as there is a lap to sit on, MItzy enjoys the boat. However, Jerry gets as excited as a youngster on Christmas morning. He knows it is his responsibility to hunt for dolphins and bring them to the boat, and he takes his role seriously. About 10 minutes into the cruise, there they were--four large, mature dolphins in the mood for play. Coaxed by Jerry’s persistent barks and striking presence, these mammals of the sea rose in our wake, frolicked back and forth, enjoying their play. They stayed with us for over 20 minutes, and Jerry dutifully tracked their movement, beckoning them to stay close as he stood like a meerkat willing them into position. Jerry was in all his glory.







Trip to Bokeelia
Since we were on a roll, after breakfast we took a family drive to the north end of the Island. We stopped at Frits Park for a nice walk, cruised through Pineland, then strolled along the boardwalk reaching out into the waters of the Sound by Captain Cons Restaurant.













Chicago and Cupertino
The rest of the week I had business in Chicago and Cupertino. Great clients and things went well, but it was great getting back on Friday night.
