Went to breakfast at Sanibel Café. While we were there we ran into Tootie & Gary! Good food and service. We bought the wedding present and had it shipped back home. We spent an hour or so at the pool before eating lunch at the condo. Thriller! South Seas! We arrived at 2:30 to get the good seat in the back for our Thriller adventure. Barely out of the marina we saw our first dolphins! The farther we went the darker the sky got. By the time we came to the end of Captiva, the sky was very angry looking. Finally, after circling a few times, our captain took the boat into the marina at South Seas. By this time the wind had really picked up and it was thundering and lightning quite a bit. The harbormaster gave us permission to dock and to come ashore to wait out the storm. We milled about in the marina gift store waiting for the all clear. Later we found out this was the first time something like this has ever happened on a Thriller adventure. The man across the isle from Nana was singing the Gilligan’s Island theme song. Finally the captain gave the all clear and we had a safe journey back to the Sanibel Marina. To celebrate our safe return we went to Pinochio’s and had ice cream. Now we are staying in for the night.
