Punta Gorda

We arrived in Punta Gorda Wednesday, September 13th, at about 9 p.m. The liquor stores were closed so my buddy Jim Patterson came up empty-handed trying to buy beer. I guess that's what happens when you go to geezerville.

It has rained almost every day--at least sometime during the day-- today being an exception. It seems hot, but it is seldom over about 85-90. The humidity makes it seem a lot hotter.

We have been unpacking since we arrived; we are now on the downhill stretch. Fortunately, this not-so-pleasant task is punctuated with dips in two beautiful pools and enjoying gorgeous sunsets.

On the way down we viewed a Fontaine Pajot 42' Venezia catamaran, seemed like a nice, but really big boat. Today we looked at a Voyage 38' cat and it seemed very cramped. We are scheduled to look at a couple of more cats and a couple of Island Packets in the next few days.
