Excellent example of time distortion. Here is a Roger Murray picture of something that didn’t happen till tomorrow. Dot and me in a kayak in Pine Island Sound east of Captiva. Now, back to today…

We are now on Captiva Island, Florida, which turned out to be bigger and much more built up than I anticipated. Lovely weather. We arrived at about 10pm on Tuesday (3am Norwich time) after fairly straightforward journey.

We were fortunate enough to have three seats between the two of us on the BA flight, which arrived at Tampa on time. The Murrays had been held up in traffic but we met successfully and drove back to Captiva through a beautiful sunset.

Yesterday we went for “breakfast” at the Lighthouse cafe on Sanibel, then enjoyed an orientation walk round our immediate area, ending up sitting on the dock opposite for an hour or so. Evening meal was at the RedfishBluefish restaurant – smallish portions but high quality. Really enjoyable.

Today we went for a six-mile walk to the northern point of the island, which is privately owned. Saw dolphins in the bay and attempted to photograph them. Temperature around 80F. Crawled into a Starbucks for iced tea and a cookie. Now Roger and I are in the house, which is on a private development called Sunset Captiva, and very quiet. Dot and Barb have gone shopping.
