Day 265: Monday, January 16th: Today we did a lot of walking around exploring downtown Ft. Myers. The center of Ft. Myers is nice, but suffering from urban sprawl. That is, the center of town is rather vacant except for a few government offices, the Federal Court and some nice restaurants.

We walked about a mile and a half to an auto parts store so Bill could buy an oil filter for the main engine. We then walked to Centennial Park downtown, where there were many people celebrating the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. The first thing to catch our eye was this sculpture of Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and Harvey Firestone, three good friends who liked to winter in Ft. Myers.

The crowd was jovial, and the kids were having fun playing in the park playground:

Various acts were performing on the stage and some were pretty good:

Back at the boat we did some chores. Bill changed the filters in the under-sink filter (first time since leaving Savannah).

Gayl and Dick Glover, our friends aboard Starsong came over for happy hour. We had fun catching up with them on our various adventures since seeing them last April.

We decided to stay in this marina for about a week there are lots of Loopers in the area, and there are lots of things to see and do.

Supper aboard and then to bed.

Position tonight: N26 38.488 W081 52.580
