The Edison Festival of Light was held over the weekend to commemorate Thomas Edison's birthday- Feb. 11, 1847. Edison had a winter estate here in Fort Myers and is quite the local hero. Events included a craft fair, a 5K race, fireworks, and a 2.5 hour parade, all right in front of our marina. We were invited to a potluck dinner and parade viewing on
Chesapeake.

We continue to work on boat projects during the day: updating our chart plotter software; installing an on/off switch for our AIS transceiver; having the cushions in the bridge recovered, and more.
