Christmas Boat Parade
We drove the golf cart down to the Monroe Canal Saturday early evening to watch the Annual Boat Parade sponsored by the Pine Island Boat Club. Twenty or so well-decorated boats and crews made their route bordered by throngs of Islanders along the path in the 70-degree temperature. Here are four photos that Jan took of the parade.




The Lost Pictures
While downloading Jan’s boat parade images, I came across a surprise--some images I had taken a while back. Here is a shot from our Motoring Across America tour of Mitzy resting on the dash in the coach.

Also in the camera where a couple of shots I took while bike riding. One is a blur (intentional ☺) and the other is a one-handed shot of a hawk flying across the bike path.


Misto Bar and Grill
We went with good friends to a new restaurant in Cape Coral called Mistos. Islanders will remember George, the chef from Visuvios; this is his new place. Wonderful food, fine service, and great ambience. Jan had the Red Snapper and I had the Grouper Jambalaya. Definitley worth getting off the Island for--give it a try.


Hangin’ On the Island
Here are a few walkaround shots from morning Pup walks and late afternoon golf cart rides--a couple out kayaking Pine Island Sound, a squirrel, a couple of hawk shots, a young eagle, a posing pelican, a Night Heron, and five Great Egrets imitating a weather vane.
