Rollin' On Our River

Actually, this woman seems to be rowin' on the river. It's a hot morning, but she seems to have found a way to enjoy life in paradise without a big expensive yacht. I wonder whether she has noticed that there is a dolphin to her right. And it's bigger than her kayak. No worries....they love us. Don't they?


There's just something so serene about a sailboat - large or small. The DH would love one, but I don't think there is much hope of his acquiring one because of that incident (he says it was an accident) where he hit me in the head with the boom. Uh-huh. Sail on by.


There are quite a few working boats on the river. (Not everyone is on vacation.) This barge carries construction vehicles, and we always comment about how the World's-Cutest -Grandson-on-the-Other-Side-of-the-Oceans would insist that he "needed" a boat like this for his bathtub. Of course, we would have to get one for him.

Can't miss this beauty steaming up the river. The Captain JP is docked right down the street from us at the Fort Myers city pier. In fact, there are two of them and you just can't help thinking about Mark Twain when you see them go by.

In Texas, party boats went out into the Gulf on gambling cruises, but weddings must be big business for the JP. On reflection, I guess there really is no bigger gamble.
