On our next to last day in Florida, we headed for Fisherman's Pier in Punta Gorda. A guy in a golf cart marked "shuttle" asked us if we wanted a ride, we got in and got a nice narrated tour or this collection of souvenier shops, nice stores, and interesting restaurants. We would recommend lunch on the upper deck of Harpoon Harry's; both for the food and for the view. We discovered that the fishing charters and boats to other islands are available with free parking, from Punta Gorda. Later in the day, we walked on the beach at Palm Island. The northern part of this island - close to Venice, Florida - is especially lovely. Don't try the northern section of Palm Island in an RV though, as the gorgeous canopy of trees would grab your antennas. It's time for us to fly north for Christmas. We put The Schooner into storage in Fort Myers and will return in Feb. That itinerary includes Sarasota, Cocoa Beach (East Side of Florida), and Ocala where we will visit a thoroughbred filly yearling that we own with a few others; but who knows where else it will take us. We are enjoying the
spontaeous life that RVing offers.
