Happy Anniversary!

It's hard to believe 20 years have passed since we said our I do's but it has. We had a great day on the water today together. It doesn't get any better than this. I'm sure all our cruising buddies would agree.

We left Marco Island before 8 AM and arrived in Everglades City around 2:30 this afternoon. The wind was on our nose so we motored the 25 miles on the Gulf. The distance was increased because we had to go out around Romano Shoal. The wind was out of the Southeast and created a fetch the further out we went so it was a bit bumpy. I wanted to bake a cake for us but was afraid it would fall. Good excuse, I thought so.

The ride up the Barron River was beautiful. The depths were a bit skinny in some areas but we saw no less than a foot under our keel. When we arrived at the Rod and Gun Club and tied up to the dock and checked in we went for a walk into town. This place still looks very much like it did 50 years ago.

We had dinner at the Rod and Gun Club tonight to celebrate our 20 years of wedded bliss. The picture is of us on the screened in porch were we ate. The Inn is beautiful and I took some pictures which you can view on Flickr at the side of this page under my links. I'll add more pictures tomorrow, we plan to ride our bikes to the Ranger Station, rent a canoe and see the Everglades.
