The Land of Milk and Honey.....and MONEY!!

These 4 pictures are just the tip of the iceberg around this place.... Incredible!  I took these on the Gordon River, the waterway which leads from the Gulf to Naples Bay.  Then there are the waterways that snake around off this waterway that are studded with more of the same. Tonight we are staying in an anchorage that was on Cruiser's Net as a good spot.  It is right inside Gordon's pass and in an area of spectacular homes.  We are a little hesitant about staying here....right now we are waiting for the Coast Guard to come with hailers blaring...."Sea Angel, Sea Angel,....out of here, stat!  We had planned on staying on a city mooring for the rest of the week (at $10 a night) but you cannot stay more than 4 nights in a row and Gary promised Cory he would help him install a door over the weekend, so we are anchored here tonight and head back to the mooring tomorrow morning.  Silly Rules!!!
We went to a Christmas tree lighting in downtown Naples on Monday where all the "honey's with money" were out in their glory, very interesting people watching  They even had snow blowing from the lamp posts.
We spent yesterday fixing the master head.  Had to walk 6 miles....good exercise but who needs it...to find the part.  Great fun, but we are now fully operational in both heads now.
Today's problem, which is ongoing, is how to charge the batteries to feed this beast!  The refrigerator is a killer as it is old and a new one is $1200.  Just because it can't be more than 54" tall,  The smaller the size the higher the price tag.
This is a fabulous exercise in using less and getting more.  We are eating and sleeping and enjoying a great time (other than the constant stress of "today's new problem", as it seems there is one everyday)
But hey.....it's a Journey!!
