Legacy Harbour Marina

We are really enjoying our stay at Legacy.  They have proven to be a first rate marina with a staff that is eager to meet all its patrons needs. The following pictures are taken from and of the Captain's lounge.



For the past 20 years the marina has hosted an appreciation dinner for its slip holders during March.  Since we are calling this "home" for March we are considered slip holders. Lucky us because the catered Italian dinner, raffle, and dance with live music was amazing!!  They understand what it takes to keep the boaters coming back!


We love spending time with other folks from Texas. We met Curtis and Michaeleen from Amarillo about a week before we left Kemah and have finally been able to spend time together once we got to Fort Myers.
Other fellow Texans are Doug and Marilee that we met at the AGLCA Rendezvous and in Kemah.  They are from Montgomery, Texas.  They stopped by Legacy for just one night on their race to get across the Big O to Jupiter, FL to watch the St. Louis Cardinals spring training.

Fort Myers Beach and Downtown Fort Myers

Fort Myers Beach proved to be yet another popular destination as you can see from the pics.  You would think that the temperature was in the high 80s with all the people on the beach but on this day it was barely over 70 but that didn't seem to hinder the population.  Downtown Fort Myers, which is walkable from the marina, always seems to have something going on. On Friday they had a Music Walk and as we went from one performance to another we weren't sure if the performers just picked their own spot to set up or if it was organized.  They offered a wide variety that ranged from a 10 year old country singer to 65-75 year olds band with horns.  There was something for everyone!

Get out of our way Bea Sounier!!

Today we left South Shore Harbor Marina in New Orleans after being there 3 days and never set eyes on anything in New Orleans, except Walmart!  Oh well, I don't think we missed much that we would be interested in.  We woke up to winds out of the North at about 15 knots and we had to enter Lake Pontchartrain to get back on the ICW and the waves again just tossed us around like a cork.  We tried to reduce our windage by opening up all our eisenglass windows and then we were freezing.  It was not the  way I wanted to start my Monday morning but we survived and things calmed down once we entered the ICW. Ken told us we should not see much more barge traffic now that we were east of the Mississippi River but we think every tug decided to wait for us to get going and they then all got in line in the narrow channel ahead of us.  It made for an extremely SLOW day since there were about 6-8 of them in a line and it was virtually impossible to pass any of them....

Making our lists and checking them twice

Image
As Brent and I pondered retirement, we wanted to be active and do something together.  We considered moving to a smaller house in a smaller city but that didn't spur any ideas of how we would fill our time. (For those of you who know me well, you know that I need to be busy most of the time.) We had always enjoyed being on the water and had owned boats for almost 20 years. So we decided that maybe living on a boat would be different yet, enjoyable.  We spent more than a year looking for the perfect live aboard boat with the idea of spending 6-12 months in one marina and then cruising on to another location. As we searched, we revisited an idea Brent had many years back.  He wanted to do the Great Loop.  In a weak moment, I agreed and then the type of boat we needed for The Loop changed drastically.  We needed something that was economical, had a long range, wasn't too large and wasn't too tall. (Lots of bridges to pass under).  In April 2017 we finally ...
