Our Estero Island Getaway

Admiral Marlene enjoying the view of Estero Bay while having a "second breakfast" at Flippers on Lovers Key.  

Our month on Estero Island is coming to a close this week.  We have had great weather, spending our days bike riding the island and taking dinghy rides around Estero Bay searching for dolphins. The beaches are beautiful white sand and like Sanibel Island, Estero Island has some of the best beaches for finding beautiful seashells.
Our marina is a sanctuary for a few Manatees.  They seem to rest in the marina during the morning and early afternoon, then about 3:00 pm they head out to feed.  This manatee was heading out to the bay directly behind TIKA.  It proceeded to go along the dock, then under TIKA as it made its way out of the marina. This manatee was well over 6ft long.  Admiral Marlene thinks they look like a potato with a tail.
 We have seen some beautiful sunsets.  This one featured a rainbow just to the right of the sun
