We arrived at Grand Harbor Marina and Condominiums on Wednesday. I have had difficulty with Internet connections so posting has been delayed. Grand Harbor is quite a facility. In fact so large that many of the boaters have golf carts to get around. The marina did have a shuttle service over the weekend which we took advantage of. Thursday we took the dingy to a popular swim area and enjoyed the warm water. I enjoyed swimming but not the occasional nip from the blue gills. Tom, John and Lynn jumped off the cliff as I watched with envy. We also pulled the kayaks along side the dingy. Tom said they were great fun. Yesterday (Friday) we felt the boat traffic on the waterway was to much for us in the dingy so we stayed within the marina going up and down the fairways looking at all of the different boats. We also swam in the pool and visited with folks we met. Today was a repeat of yesterday. There were so many boats and wave runners out that it reminded me of I65 from Crown Point to Indianapolis on a holiday weekend! The weather has remained in the nineties so the marina has been very busy. In fact we were told by one of the supervisors that they broke a record in profits yesterday. We have enjoyed sitting still for a few days but are ready to move on. We will leave bright and early for Clifton.
