Said Our Farewells in Naples/Marco Island Area!

Today was the 1st day since we arrived at Club Naples that we actually slept in and actually watched some TV in bed.  What a luxury!!!  We spent most of the morning and early afternoon getting Willie ready for tomorrow's move to Pine Island.  We did take the time to walk around the CG and then play our 1st gam of shuffleboard.  They have some very nice courts here for shuffleboard and Bocce!  Ken was victorious and I hate to admit it!  (But, only by 2 points!)  This really is a very nice park and one you should check out if you are in the area!

Many nice shuffleboard courts!

Pretty entrance to Club Naples Camping Resort

I did some research on the Open Range Forum concerning our slide-out cable that is fraying and partially sliced.  It appears that it shouldn't be a difficult fix if you find the right RV Tech.  Thanks, Bonnie and Richard for suggesting we check out the forum.  It was informative and helpful!  We were happy when we pulled it in today without any problem.  We plan to leave it in until we get someone to repair it - that might have to wait until we get home if we are not successful in finding the right RV Tech here in FL.  It is an inconvenience, but we  can still manage and have a great time.  We will be a bit "cramped", but it is definitely do able!!!!

We went over to the KOA CG to have dinner with Barry and Deb's kayaking group.  They had a picnic with a trash can cooked turkey and everyone brought something to share!  What a treat!!!!  The turkey was so good and we enjoyed meeting many of the folks that kayak from that CG.  There we about 38 people at the picnic.  Then back to their Airstream to play one game of 5 Crowns.  Deb always wins when we play in their RV!!!

The trash can is covering the turkey.  Charcoal on top and
around the turkey in the pit!

Ready for the "unveiling". 

WOW!

Quite a group at the Kayak Picnic!

Another night of card playing!

We have had a wonderful time here in Naples and always enjoy the time spent with Barry and Deb and Dave and Sharon Horst.  It only happens once a year, but it is very special each time.  Now we head to Pine Island, about 1 1/2 hours north.  We will see many special friends at the CG that return each year.  We are looking forward to those 2 weeks.
