2/11/15: Ft. Myers Yacht Basin, Ft. Myers, Florida.

We continue to enjoy our stay here in Ft. Myers. The weather has been great and the downtown weekend events have been fun. This last weekend was the yearly Arts Festival. Over 200 booths located just steps from our boat. Connie (Chesapeake) and I came up with the shopping strategy of shop, return to boat & rest, shop, return to boat & rest, and repeat again and again. LOL.

Friday Night Kick Off Party - Music & Food

Florida Highway Men Exhibit - Old Florida History

Over 200 Booths & Lots of People

Russ & Joe sought out the food section while

Kay & Al (Knot Home) fellow Loopers stopped by to say hi as they headed back north home via car. We spent a lot of time with them last year on the 1^st half of the loop. They put their boat up for the winter and will continue the loop this spring.
