Sanibel Marina

Called Sanibel Marina today, and made a reservation for a slip for tonight (Sunday). The harbormaster said we could not arrive before 2:30 pm and should be gone by 11:00 am tomorrow. Sanibel Marina is probably the prettiest marina we've been to. Also the most expensive. ($61.00)

There's not many people staying on boats in this marina. Mostly nice fishing boats--Pursuits, GB's and GW's. Also a few larger cruisers and one other Rosborough (same as our boat). Sitting in the parking lot near the entrance is a small sailboat. It's a Doughdish like the one I owned in the mid 80's. People here have good taste.

We rode our bicycles up Periwinkle Way for several miles. Pam did some shopping and then we stopped at the Lazy Flamingo for dinner. (She'd been wanting a mesquite grilled grouper Caesar salad.) It was dark when we got back. We walked around the marina and some of the big sport fishermen boats had their underwater lights on. I've never seen so many snooks. There must have been a hundert under the docks and behind the two boats with their lights on. What a sight! Here's one that stayed around till morning.
