Still cool on Thursday...

Darn, it's just taking forever to warm up again here. However, it did get above 60 and we got an hour of sunning in and a nice long walk on the beach. The tide was as low as we've ever seen it, very interesting. The water was as calm as we've seen it at the shore. There were still white caps breaking, but they were out as far as the sand bar and by the time the water reached the shore, it was barely lapping. It's a strange feeling to be walking over the area that in 12 hours would be deep under the water.
Today we're still working on where we're going on Saturday after we leave here, and also have booked a cruise to the Bahamas leaving Miami on March 1 for 4 days. I'm pretty excited about that and counting down the days!
It's been pretty quiet around here, most guests have moved on and there's only a few units occupied. Even though it's been cool, it's been sunny and nice enough to soak up some sun on the front deck or on the lawn.
I've read about 10 books since leaving Canada. I keep finding cheap books that I can't pass up so now have to decide what I'm going to do with them as I finish them. I don't really want the ballast!
I forgot to mention that when Leroy and Wilma were here and we were doing some sight-seeing, we stopped in to see the Energy Encounter at the Port St. Lucie nuclear power plant. It's a program for kids really, but it was interesting and "dumbed down" nuclear energy so that even us old folks could understand it. The lady working there was quite nice and we asked about all the dead fish we had seen across the street while walking to the beach. She said that the cold snap from the beginning of January was just too much for some of the tropical fish species and they just washed up. There were so many, the birds and scavengers got tired of them. She also mentioned that at the same time the sea turtles were starting to just "shut down" and float as if dead. There was a huge rescue operation and turtles were taken to "turtle hospitals" around, but there was not enough room. She said the power plant had about 250 that they took care of, some of them in people's offices! It was interesting and informative, and free to boot. Anyone in the area, check it out.
