DAY 5 May 18 Mon

Well, we feel like we are in dreary, windy, icky Canada today. Planned to rent a boat at marina not even 5 minute walk from rv but it was way too blustery and chilly. Postponed but then just decided to give up. Too bad. Jack very much looking forward to it.
As a result of cancellation, I got in several long walks around the park which has 176 rv sites. All of it is wonderful and we would come back here. However, why come all this way when Ft. DeSoto is right down the road in St. Pete. Of course state parks rates are cheaper and Jack gets discount for senior and/or handicapped status but it's a long way unless you are going to stay for a week or more.
Saw a deer again this am. Reading my book on New Orleans history while Jack worked on his law cases. No one is out and about today and the wind is still howling -the sound in the palms and pines puts me to sleep. Not one minute of sun but no rain. Only interruption is jets flying over. Can hear them but not see them. From Tyndell or maybe Pensacola Naval Air just down the road.
Forgot to mention the +20 insect bites I have with Jack's count not far behind. Our neighbor rver in Eastport warned us about the yellow flies - which are huge. Bites are worse than mosquito bites in terms of size and itch. We used OFF but didn't help much as he predicted. Oh well.
