A Cold Front!

Saturday, February 12, 2012 Naples Concert Band Lay Day: Naples, FL MM 32.5 Weather: Cold! Low 50, high near 60; breezy mostly sunny but sometimes overcast Comments: the day started as most do, with breakfast in the cockpit. This morning was a bit different though, we had to use the heater! With it burning at full throttle, the cockpit temp warmed to a rather balmy 68 degrees. After tea and coffee, we went ashore for laundry detail. Once the machines did their work, we went back to SUNSHINE where we enjoyed a great salad for lunch. We returned to shore for the concert at the band shell in Cromier Park. The Naples Concert Band, an all volunteer band, was very good. We enjoyed their program and noted that the band is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. During the intermission, we walked to the grocery store for provisions. The walk was longer than I anticipated. We made it back to the concert for the final two selections. Following the Stars and Stripes March, the large crowd dispersed. Considering the cold weather, it was amazing to see so many people in attendance. Many of the concert goers looked as if they didn't know it was cold out. It seemed that we were the only two people in winter coats, and believe me, we needed them!
