December 29, 2012 "Paddle Board Fun!"

Hello all and welcome to Winter! It sure rolled in here on Ft. Myers Beach through the night! We woke up to 45 degrees this morning and I was NOT prepared for what awaited me when I walked outside barefooted to get the news paper! Geeze! GO HOME COLD WEATHER YOU ARE NOT WELCOME!

With that said, yesterday was not too bad! In the mid-seventies but very overcast and threats of rain throughout the day. However, I had the good fortune to get in a Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) trip with a great group of folks!

I am here to tell you this family was great on the boards! For "first timers" they really did marvelous. Ann and her crew took very little instruction, jumped right up on the boards and took off! They even took on the more challenging waves of the gulf after we arrived at our shell island! What troopers they were! I was IMPRESSED!

Ann, Thank you all for making this a great trip! I hope you had fun and I hope to see you again in the future. Enjoy the pictures and little video and share them with others too!

After my SUP trip I met my friend Don at Nervous Nellie's for a bite of lunch! I had the Rolled Oyster Poorboy. WOW! Incredible! Don't order this if you are not hungry! Outside on Uglys deck, the upstairs bar at Nervous Nellie's,  is the greatest seat in the house to listen to the live music out on the patio. Dave Collaton  was entertaining with his great beach style and we had a great time.

On to the Sunset Cruise later in the day with a boat load of more fun folks and then my day was over. I crashed! Good Times, Good People! Lucky Dog I am!

I'm headed out to enjoy my day off with my wife so Happy New Year all!
