"The marina at the RPYC was a sight to behold, ablaze with flags, banners, balloons.etc.    The members who were part of the Fourth of July Fleet-In had done us proud.  Dick and Mary Lou Mullins were awarded the prize for the best decorated boat.

 

Seven boats participated in the festivities for the long weekend -- and it was a fun-filled weekend.  Saturday morning we  enjoyed one of Jason's "special" breakfasts.  Later we all joined the "hot dog brigade" at the club  for lunch, finished decorating our boats and helped decorate the  Harbor Room for the Sunday celebration.  Notwithstanding the damp and sometimes  rainy  weather,  we  played games, enjoyed our "happy hour" and danced the night away in the Bridge Room

 

Gary Tapken   organized a team  for the weekend to manage the "up and downs" of the umbrellas on the dock;;  the wind thrusts were really strong at times.          

 

While we truly missed the Fort Myers fireworks display on Sunday. there were lots of fireworks up & down the river. We enjoyed our time together  played word games' and corn hole toss;  there was even a scavenger hunt won by Ellen Schneider and Chris Burger.

 

Monday morning  we departed early for home, avoiding more rain.
