 We used Manatee as our homeport to
entertain friends/cruisers and also as a springboard to visit folks in
Orlando, Vero Beach, and Florida City. Our first visitors were our old
RV mates, Butch and Vicki. You may remember that they met us in Hunting
Island SC a few months back. Now they were visiting us in Manatee.
They even brought a wash pail so we could have a campfire. They stayed
three days before they had to head back to Oriental NC.
|
Our next guests were Nancy and Tom formally of SV
Celena who have a home in Palm Coast. They came to check out our RV and
talk about their new class A. We have known them for over 15 years and
cruised with them throughout the Bahamas. The picture to the left in the gallery is
the gang at Staniel Cay Yacht Club in 2011. We were quite young then,
weren't we?

We visited our old time Carolina Beach
marina mate who now spends seasonal RVing in a fancy RV facility outside
of Miami. We have not seen them in quite a while and Covid had
complicated matters. Dave and Donnie spend 6 months there and 6 months
in Carolina Beach/Kure Beach NC. We went to a 'safe' restaurant (Olive Garden) where we ate 'in'. It was great seeing them.
|
Our last stop was to see Harry and Sheila in Orlando (we
had seen them in Cocoa the week before). Sheila got us all some
carryout from the famous Columbian restaurant. We could only stay a
short while and then we had to head back to homeport to slowly get ready
for departure. These three weeks went very quickly. Great trip!
