Heavy rain during the night and into early afternoon. Skip put a bucket out and captured around 4 inches of the stuff. Glad we weren't home in WV or it would have been white stuff up to our ....
Ricki 
fixed a fantastic gravy and biscuit brunch for us when we finally got up around 10 a.m. Maybe now we have all our sleep caught up. I spent a better part of the afternoon charting our trip down the coast and made reservations for all the marinas we will be in from here to Marco Island. Tomorrow we will go to St. Petersburg Municipal Marina thru Friday when we will be going across Tampa Bay to Twin Dolphin Marina 
in Bradenton for a couple nights. Daughter Christine and her family are in Florida and will be joining us on Thursday to travel to Bradenton. The pictures are from dinner tonight at Crabby Bill's here at the marina. Ten of us loopers got together for food and fun. Eight of us were in the group that crossed the Gulf together along with another couple from Michigan we met at Port St. Joe and are here at this marina. The folks around the table are: Nelson and Elizabeth (Little Bit O'Life) from Tennessee and moving to Florida, Pat and Dick (Gypsea) from Michigan, Scott and Marlene (Nomad) from Canada, Ricki and Carl (Quest) from WV, Skip and Barb (Moor $tuff) from Illinois. Couldn't believe the bucket of seafood that Scott and Marlene devoured! Skip tried his first raw oyster which Ricki videoed and he claimed he liked it. Our dinner of grouper was the restaurant special dish and was pretty good as well. The light chandelier that hung over our table was quite unique. Tomorrow we will leave for St. Pete as soon as the sun comes thru the predicted fog around 10:30 or so. Ricki spotted a nautical store that she hadn't seen before and needs to touch everything in there before we leave.
