Freezing in Florida

We arrived in Fort Myers Beach on 12/30/09 - our destination for about a month. We picked up a mooring ball behind Estero Island for $275.00 for the whole month. We loved this spot last year & wanted to return again. The facilities are very nice; showers & laundry, and it is very convenient for groceries, a beautiful beach, and a nearby airport making it convenient for company to fly in. Elena will be visiting on 1/12/10 & Lauren & fiance; Adam, are flying in on 1/19/10. Also we will leave Kismet here while we rent a car to drive back to Hollywood, FL to help my Mom with her move to California at the end of the month. We also love this place because it is a gathering spot for many cruiser friends that we have met in the last year and a half. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Dick & Jan on "Cambia" & spent a fun New Years Eve with them, Pam & Frank on "Blackfoot" and several new friends. We actually stayed up to see the midnight fireworks. After a day or day, the temperatures have DROPPED! It has been in the high 30s at night and the 50s during the day - this pattern will hold on til the beginning of next week. BRRRRRRRRRRRR................(still better than up North)!
