Doug finally got to go deep sea fishing. A 10 hour trip, 34 miles out yielded this haul. Six amberjack (limit),  12 king mackerel (limit allowed) and some red snapper (good eating). He had a great time with 5 other fishermen but unfortunately the season for grouper (lg fish similar to haddock) ended Jan 31. He's hoping to go at least once more before we leave in April.

In the meantime, while all our northern friends and family were dealing with massive snow falls, we were treating ourselves to a lovely lunch at Myakka River Oyster Bar where there was a car show/cruise in. Not too many cars but it was nice to see some cars besides the ones always at our car club.
 We mentioned several times how we wish you all were able to enjoy the balmy breezes and warm sun with us, sorry.
