Fisherman's Village in Punta Gorda

We made it to The Fisherman's Village Marina in Punta Gorda just before 1pm on Wed 12/13.  Coming into the marina was a bit of a challenge.  There was a strong northeast blow pushing the water out of the bay and the channel into the marina had shoaled in places less than 5ft.  Needless to say we found those areas and came to a stop!  After call to the dockmaster we were directed to deeper water and we made it in.....almost!  The stern came to a stop about 10ft from the dock and wouldn't budge.  Luckily the tide was on it's way back in and after a couple of hours we were able to pull boat all the way into dock.  


Fisherman's Village was very nice!   Located right in the marina is a resort with rooms above restaurants and shops all decorated for Christmas.  We had a great stay!  Our daughter Ashley came to visit for 4 days, we spent time with our good friends from our home port in Ohio and caught up with fellow loopers!














Lunch with Jim, Suzie, Gary and Jane



Christmas party with looper pals! 



Oh, and we cannot forget the very special gift Ashley brought with her.  Toulouse!  This little queen will be staying with us for awhile!   She's loving the boat life!!







Next up, were on our way to Marathon!
