Day 90-91 Jan 12-13 Palm Island Marina Engelwood FL

This being the weekend with LOTS of boat traffic out on the waterway we decided to stay at Palm Island Marina until Monday. 
We are on Lemon Bay and couldn't have found a better marina to stay at  The staff helps us dock and by the way we had a premier spot.  Everyone stopped to talk and offered to go with us and be deck hands.  There is a Condo complex connected so everyone uses the pool.  When they come to the pool they bring their laundry, sit in the sun and do their pink jobs.  By the way no quarters are needed....Free Laundry.....

Like our dock site
 
I was doing my pink job
 
Free beer from 11-4 on Saturday at the pool.  As we say "It doesn't get much better than this"......

Dinner at Johnny Leverocks Seafood House which is on-site.  We went in to dine Friday evening but Sunday we used their delivery service.  You just put your order in with Stacey at the bar before 5:30 (you know the early-bird specials) and dinner is delivered in time for a sunset dinner on the bridge.  This is service!!!!
 
 
 
Beautiful Sunset

We met Jim and Judy at the pool. They are from the snowy north and are spending a month at one of the Condos. Well....here comes Jim who was dining at Leverocks down to the boat...."Rik....come take a picture of your boat....the staff is even taking pictures" Thank you Jim!
