February 19, Day 239 - In Marathon

First thing this morning Gerry went to pick up a rental car. Then he and Michael did a bit of shopping at one of their favorite stores -- Home Depot. Back at the boat Gerry did a few chores, including switching out the propane tank. In the process he ended up bending the line and had to redo it. That whole process took several hours, including another trip to Home Depot for a needed tool.

This evening there was a Looper gathering sponsored at Banana Bay Marina. There were over 50 people there, most of whom we had met along the way or at one of the last parties. As usual, lots of good food. However, because the weather was so chilly, we only stayed a couple of hours. The temperature is about 15 degrees below normal. We keep waiting for a change in the weather …. Maybe next week !!!

This is Banana Bay-- a resort-type marina with pool, hot tub, gazebo, etc.

A nice view with a beach and beach chairs

Here's the Loopers .... quite a few attended (However, notice the jackets -- it was chilly)

A plate of appetizers -- just a sample of what was available. Loopers eat good.
