Lazy day at Marco Island

We are checking and rechecking the weather for our trip to Key West.  Were planning to leave tomorrow afternoon - but now it looks as though we will have a headwind the whole way if we do.  Wednesday is more favorable with the wind coming from the East.  As luck would have it there was a diver here cleaning the neighbors boat - so I checked to see if they would have time to clean our bottom.  He has been down there a couple of hours now and only has one side done!  Pretty nasty.  He said the oysters were latching on as we were traveling the Gulf.  Would have been nice if they would have just jumped in -Oyster Bar!!  Going to head to Snook Inn later and check out their "Chickee Bar".  If you are like me you are wondering if that means they have "chickees" there??  Apparently not - it is Florida's take on the Tiki Bar.  Thatch roof, open sides - they borrowed it from the Seminole Indians. The smaller building below is the boaters lounge/clubhouse.  Craig and John the Harbormasters are exceptional - incredibly nice!
This is the Marina at Factory Bay on Marco Island, Florida.  Lots of condos here!
