Back in Cape Coral

Thursday, June 7, 2018 - Day 57

Bill and I enjoyed breakfast at the Stuffed Pig and then walked over to Marlin Bay Yacht Club.  This is a new marina facility just opening in Marathon.  It was fabulous in every way, slips, grounds, game room, pool, outside bar, and much more.  We will definitely plan a SFYC cruise to this new marina.
