Port-A-Gee

After spending August - December on the boat in 2020, we were glad to be on solid ground again.  But that didn't last long!  By the end of January we were excited to go back to Florida and resume our adventure.       Proofreading this post revealed how much Covid has interfered with our trip.  We will all be glad            when we can resume normal activities again. Burnt Store Full Moon Fri, Jan 29 -  We splashed Port-A-Gee at Burnt Store Marina, Punta Gorda in preparation for annual Southwest Florida Ranger Tug / Cutwater Rendezvous.  This will be the 4th year that we've attended, but this year was special because we finally attended on board the boat!!  No back and forth to the Airbnb this year.
