January 6, 2016 was an active day for Duffey, Jerry, Carole, and me. We started the day at 9:00 with Duffey squeezing oranges so we could have mimosa’s to drink. After our delicious drinks we headed out for a forty mile plus bicycle ride from end to end of Sanibel and Captiva. At the end of Captiva we walked on the beach and looked for dolphins. On the return trip we stopped for lunch  at O. C. Otters where Carole and I had the delicious portobello mushroom topped with a crab cake, Jerry had Grouper and Duffey had a Cuban sandwich. 

After lunch we went to Jensen’s Marina to look for Manatee but we were not able to spot any swimming by the pier. The Manatee search failed so we headed home and did not stop until we found a resort my parents were considering staying at in February. I sent the information we found to John and we continued to ride to the lighthouse and then back home. Thirty minutes after arriving home we went to Joan and Pete’s party on the deck. Joan prepared delicious snacks for everyone and we sat around talking until it got cold. We ended the night at Jerry and Carole’s place eating desserts left over from her birthday party!

We are finally home for the night and have taken showers and are watching TV before going to bed.
