7 boats and 16 club members made their way to Cape Harbor on Friday afternoon for another enjoyable get-together.

Our plans to dine together at a small local restaurant had to be changed suddenly due to the restaurant's licensing problems with the city. Instead we took advantage of grills provided by Cape Harbour and enjoyed grilled meats along with side dishes provided by the members. The evenings and mornings were very brisk to say the least, but the temperatures did not stop our intrepid group of boaters! Bloody Marys and Mimosas probably did not hurt either.

One highlight of the weekend was the celebration of Charlie Munsch's (?) birthday. He was serenaded and presented with a Happy Birthday Cinnamon roll with one candle.

A few members of our group made it to downtown Cape Coral for the Art Festival.

Saturday was a big football playoff day and thanks to Dick deStafano's and Tom Laskey's creativeness, a television antennae was fashioned from a coat hanger with Tom providing a small TV.

After a supper of homemade chili and soup, with all kinds of additional goodies, we gathered in the covered Gazebo to cheer on our favorite teams. It was still quite cold inside, but at least we were protected from the wind. Huddled in coats and stadium blankets we still managed to have a great time cheering or perhaps grumbling about the games. With plenty of food and our favorite beverages, we were ready for anything. I admit that a few of us had to sneak off to find warmer conditions, but some hardier types stayed until half time of the second game-then they too had to call it quits.!!!! All in all, wehad a great time visiting, laughing and just enjoying each other.
