Wednesday-Friday, February 2-4, 2022 - Tarpon Point Resort and Marina, Cape Coral, FL

 I want to share some pictures of our little spot in paradise!



On Wednesday we soaked up some Vitamin D at the resort, had a specialty cocktail and light lunch.




It feels great to be able to go places on land with a car.  We stopped to stock up on groceries and see the sights around the marina.  Kim and Marty gave us suggestions for dinner so we ended up at Ceno Grill.  It was fantastic Italian with plenty to bring home for lunch.

It was a cleaning day.  With the salt always getting on the boat, we need to deep clean her at least every other day.  But we are anxious to have guests arriving this afternoon.

Jim and Ann McMillan from Iowa are vacationing in Ft. Myers and coming to the boat for docktails and catching up. It had been years since seeing each other.





Ann brought these beautiful tulips.  I must say that I have missed my fresh flowers that I always have on the center island at home.  Thank you again Ann.

After Jim and Ann left us, we sat on our deck and took in the sights of this beautiful resort.  Three other looper boats set up anchor in the little bay in front of our bow.  

And of course we can’t forget the sunset!!

Tuesday, October 12, 2021 (Keokuk, IA -Rockport, IL) Good morning from Keokuk, IA. The sun is coming up and going to shine all day. Here is a better picture of the Yacht Club and I couldn’t resist the baby tug.   Right out of Keokuk is Lock and Dam 19 which was the most interesting and deepest lock so far.  As we approached the Lock and Dam there was a huge brick building standing in the river.  The name of the building was “Keokuk Plant”.  We tried to find historical information about it but came up empty.  However, we took a guess that before the Lock and Dam was built the structure housed an electrical generating plant on the river.  So unusual to see a big building out in the river with no access in or out.  As we look at the lock the gates were very different then we had ever seen.  It looked like a fence that would be similar to what you would see in a back yard.  But you could see through the gate and watch the water rescind or rise. ...

Thursday, October 21, 2021 (Modoc, IL - outside Cairo, IL) We had a fantastic nights sleep last night.  No barge traffic through the lock and dam all night.  We are still boating with the same 3 other boats and know that it will be a long day.  Jim checks the oil most mornings down in the engine room.  If the boat needs more oil all he needs to do is place a hose into the oil container, push a lever for which engine needs oil and turn a pump on!!!!  No muss, no fuss!!! We progressed down river all day with hardly anything to report.  Nothing but barges tied to the side of the water.  However we are seeing more and more dredging equipment.  The trees are green but I am missing my favorite season at home with the fall colors and falling leaves. But….. not missing it so much that I want to go home.  LOL!!! The sandy beaches look so inviting!  However on we go as we are getting closer to our first anchorage.  This basically is finding a...

Welcome aboard “Our Nauti Time”!! Once we decided to tackle part of the Great Loop, we realized that our 26 foot cabin cruiser was certainly too small to live on for several months.  So, the search began!!  Most of you are aware that this is exactly what Jim loves to do…..SHOP and NEGOTIATE.  I was thinking that he would be showing me boats that were about 34 feet.  Yes, I was completely wrong!!!  Next thing I knew we were taking a little road trip to LaCrosse, WI just to look at this beauty.  She is a 43 foot Silverton Yacht that we ended up purchasing in the fall of 2020.  This past spring we drove her to Treasure Island Casino Marina where we spent a great deal of time this summer.  It has been a huge learning experience going from 1 engine to 2 and having a control panel taller than our youngest grandchild.  We were so lucky to have made many wonderful new friends on B Dock and shared unforgettable memories.  It was sad to say goodby...
