On February 1, Spiritus departed the Matanzas Mooring field to head up the Caloosahatchee River.

The birthday girl happily collected the mail that was forwarded to the marina!
Gold Looper buddies, Mike & Cindy, sent our favorite popcorn, Oke-Doke from Minnesota.
It was quickly devoured!
Mary & Fraser took us to the rooftop at The Firestone for birthday drinks at sunset and a fabulous meal. . . .
. . . . followed by a fancy, yummy birthday dessert!!
But the real surprise was the homemade carrot cake that barely fit in the door of Spiritus!!
The first weekend we enjoyed Ft Myer's annual Arts & Crafts Festival.
This VW bug is creatively covered with beautiful sea shells.

Every masterpiece was so impressive that we had a difficult time judging!
The Pennington sisters add pleasure to the afternoon with hand-dipped ice cream bars!
Fraser brought balloons to add a special spirit to our Super Bowl celebration!
