Hooking Up with Friends – Fort Myers Beach, Florida

Fort Myers Beach – Gulf Star Marina

Not a lot going on this time around for the crew of Kismet in Fort Myers Beach. We usually take a mooring ball, but this time we docked at Gulf Star Marina. It was Sunday when we arrived and we were treated to live music at the nearby restaurant, Doc Ford’s. Our main objective while here was to hook up with some friends in the area.

We scheduled breakfast at this Greek restaurant on the beach with friends, Hal and Marianne, from Charlevoix, Michigan (Kismet’s one-time homeport), they were renting a house on the beach and rode their bikes to meet us at the restaurant.

Next, Looper buddies Linda and Charlie, on Freedom’s Turn, met us on the boat, we had done parts of our second Loop with this couple. We later went out to dinner and while waiting to order saw this pitcher of beer. This method of keeping beer cold in the Florida heat is unique, to say the least.
