Real nice Gary bet you wish you had your sailboat with ya also........gonna rent something to sail down there or? btw thanx for the great pics More More !!

... NO more... NO more ... NO more ... !!!

Donny, sailboat rentals, for one the size of mine, averages $800 to $1,000 a day. I can wait till I get home for sailing. Besides, I'll be sailing my boat back down here next October.

Tony, C'mon down - we have lots of room for you and Lydia.

Just got back from a 5-mile bicycle ride - damned I must be old because I had to stop and take a break at 2.5 miles. Thank goodness there are no hills here. Saw lots of neat stuff on the ride, for which they have a special bike lane. Lots of neat gals jogging, watched a pelican swoop down into Vaca Cut and grab a big fish, then threw it in the air and swallowed it in a single gulp. That fish was huge, but that pelican just wolfed it down like it was slurping an oyster out of the half-shell.

I seriously doubt that I will host a Synthzone Jam here - just not enough interest. That's OK, though. I have lots of other things to do and loads of folks to visit.

Here's the place where we're staying Home sweet Home

Cheers from the sunny south,

Gary

Great daily blog entry Gary....keep them coming for us freezing NorthEasterners

Carol and I just walked out on the dock, sat down on the bench and just a few yards away a pair of 1,000-pound manatees were carousing on the canal's surface. Then a few pelicans arrived on the scene, followed by someone's great dane that trotted into the back yard for a quick visit. Raining right now, but that should be gone soon.

while sitting there were you thinking of a more permanent resident with your sail boat tied up right outside....... oh baby!

Gary ... I saw the 'For Sale' signs ... how much ? ...

We're renting from the guy that purchased the house a year ago for $440,000, Tony. He's a doctor in Ohio and really did a great job with this place. Keep in mind those google photos are a couple years old most of the time.

Donny, I would move here in a heartbeat, but Carol wants to be near her and our families. So, the next best thing is doing what we are now doing, or living aboard the boat while at one of the marinas.

Another beautiful day in the Florida Keys, temperature is about 72, and I'm headed out for a short (5-mile) bike ride. Attached are some photos from yesterday.
