September 5, 2014  Friday  73°F – 91°F      Water temp at 8:30am is 87°F in Fort Myers

I have a new app on my phone called “Buoy Data”. I was wondering about the temperature of the water around us. The nearest buoy is in Fort Myers just south of this location. 87°F seems a bit warm but it is summer time after all.

Part of our stay here is getting all of our “memorabilia” onto the boat. At least the amount of “stuff” that we can stow. All the rest will be given away or thrown away. Another purging. Seems like we did this in AZ last month. Now we are doing it again. Everyone should move every so often to get rid of all the extra stuff we fill our drawers, closets, and garages. If there is space, we fill it. Isn’t that the American Way?!?!

At this marina, they have bins or carts for the marina residents to use to take their goods from the parking lot to their boat. The few marinas we have visited all have a bin on wheels of one sort or another. Comes in handy as we lug our prized possessions from the storage locker — > to the car –> to the boat.

Marina Bins – carts used by boaters for hauling stuff.

One load at a time.

Very convenient.  I was thinking that to make the same transfer of goods from the car to the boat would get pretty tedious.  Can you imagine hauling arm full of stuff along that wooden path?

We have made use of the bins for laundry day, as well.

Laundry Day!!

Hauling our dirty laundry.  Then hauling our clean laundry back to the boat.  Isn’t he great at hauling?!?!

A side note…. we have noticed that some folks push the bins.  We assume so they will know when they drop something along the dock.  Wayne likes to pull the bin and have me follow along behind.  As every woman knows that is her place …  behind every man…. pushing him along… sometimes with whip in hand!!
