Awake: 7:04am Temp 47 sleep 6+39 mostly sunny breezy overnight @ Everglades City, FL.
K & I exercise in the clubhouse gym for an hr. Then Gary & Grace J. arrive around 11:40am.
We chat in our motorhome for a good hr before touring the clubhouse. Inside the clubhouse, Gary talks with Don (operations manager) about the Everglades Isle Resort: high & low cost of the campsites, monthly fee for upkeep, extra cost of private boat slip, etc.
Then all (4) of us walk about (5) blocks toward town & visit with Mike D. Mike gives G & R a quick tour of his house renovation progress & the kayaks that he & Denise are making + other items of interest. Mike is a professional @ house renovation & enjoys doing this but only on his own structures.
Earlier, while Gary was talking with Don @ the clubhouse, Grace chatted with Susan, the concierge of the day, about a guy living on Chokoloskee Island who has a Harley Davidson motorcycle for sale; Gary is interested & would like to see what kind of condition it's in. (20) min later, Gary looks carefully @ the machine, asks a lot of questions, sits on the Harley checking for height...as the owner had lowered the bike for comfort, etc, then thanks the owner for his time & we return to our motorhome. Later Gary said it was in good shape but too many pock marks due to salt water.
Kathy serves a dinner for (4) of: beef stew with whole grain bread. R & G have a theater show to attend in Naples this evening so they had to scoot out so they wouldn't be late. We say our goodbyes for now & maybe see them again before heading north.
Evening movie: "The Captive City" with John Forsythe, Joan Camden, Harold J. Kennedy, Marjorie Crosland, Victor Sutherland, etc. Small-city newspaper editor Forsythe gradually learns that the Mafia has taken over bookie operations formerly run by corrupt local businessmen. Based-on-fact noir-style photography by Lee Garmes. 1952. Interesting story as it could happen in your town.
Lights out: 12:04am
