Enjoyed day with other cruisers!  Went for a walk on 7 mile bridge.  Beautiful views of ICW and the ocean.  Stopped for a drink at the Lazy Days restaurant. http://lazydayssouth.com/     Met a very nice couple from Michagen.  They were very impressed when Captain Steve held up his hand with the palm facing out and asked them to show him on his hand where they lived in Michagain. https://www.google.com/search?q=michigan+and+hand&num=20&newwindow=1&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=w7K7UrCHIsjY2gWgkYCoAw&ved=0CC8QsAQ&biw=1366&bih=652#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=vbOUB9Wyo55emM%3A%3BIkzRbKSbRi4QlM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fmichigan.modularhomes.info%252Fmichigan-map.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fnerdjockprincess.com%252F%253Ftag%253Dfamily%3B320%3B312
They have a RV in the park by the 7mile bridge and a 30 foot motor boat (m/vProud Mary) there also.  They have been to the Bahamas multiple times.  They gave us a great deal of information and advice. They are going to Bahamas http://www.bahamas.com/ in March, hopefully we will meet them there!
