Comment: As usual, we did some computer work, had breakfast and listened to the cruiser’s net before venturing ashore. Once there, we freed the bikes from their incarceration in the bike rack and went for a twelve mile ride. Along the way, we stopped to watch some small planes land and take off at the airport. We also found the comdo complex that the Michalsky’s and Elders are staying in and stopped for a visit with Bill and Barb.

Following our short visit, we continued north and stopped a short distance away at the Island Fish Company to buy “T”s for Sandi and Shelley. They didn’t have any “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problems” “T’s” in stock, so we left empty handed. We continued to head north to the Curry Hammock Nature Trail. We walked the trail a bit before heading back home.

On the way back, Anna Marie wanted to pick up a few items from Publix, so we made that stop before getting back to the marina, where we once again chained the bikes up, boarded the dinghy and headed back to SUNSHINE.

We watched the sunset while blowing the conch shell and listening to a bugler play taps. Then, we settled in for a great dinner and some R & R before hitting the sack..
