Morning Bell Feb 5th

Good morning Everyone,

Well, another glorious day in the making here on Ft Myers Beach. Sunny and 87 degrees is the plan.

I posted a few new photos on the construction page this morning. http://www.snookbightmarina.com/marina_construction_timeline.asp

If you scroll through to about 180 you'll be at the newest ones. We now have access to the launch pad area and have installed the new ramp to the floating dock at that location. Boats are in place now for temp storage on the pad while construction continues.

Here is a good look at the new launch area from C Dock and a few boats waiting for their skippers to take them for a ride.

In the last few weeks we have been enjoying a unique sight on the Bay. The lone Red Ibis is back again this year. I first saw him flying with the flock last Spring and he's back again. I have seen him three times now. The flock flies along the water in a long formation and he is usually right in the middle.

Here's a shot from Trinidad of two Red Ibis in flight. Imagine how amazing one looks in a flock of 20 or so white ones.

More to report on the voyage of DreamTime. Neville and Catherine sailed to Upper Captiva to have a final check of all the new systems on board before finally leaving land behind. While in that area they discovered South Seas Resort and had a couple of days there while on the hook off of Captiva. We stopped in to see them and when we left on Sunday they assured us they would leave all of the luxury behind today. They have launched the new web site so have a look at zeroxte.com

Well, time to go to work. Happy boating!

Joe
