We arrived at the Naples Sailing and Yacht Club on Thursday, December 1. Thanks to Marilyn, the dock master, for lending us her car on Friday. We were able to go to several stores to pick up the items Rick needed to start to install the water maker.
On Saturday, we walked back to a couple of the stores we went to the day before to buy more supplies. The weather is beautiful, in the 70’s with a nice breeze and plenty of sunshine. It was a nice, long walk.

Rick continues to work on the water maker installation but still does not have everything he needs. He will contact the supplier on Monday.
You can use the washing machine at NSYC after noon, so I will plan to do our wash again before we leave here. Rick thinks we should stay here until Thursday morning. We will keep an eye on the approaching cold front and let that be the determining factor – but we have to leave no later than Friday morning.
On Tuesday, we walked to the historic district to watch the Naples Christmas parade. For such an elegant area of Florida, they had a “down-home” parade which included marchers from half a dozen high school bands, decorated vehicles for local politicians and businesses, and several displays for local wildlife preservation or rescue organizations, including the Naples Zoo, along with at least one fire engine or emergency rescue vehicle from each of the surrounding communities. Four or five of the floats were boats on trailers being pulled along. A number of churches (including the Salvation Army with band) were represented, most with a loat of the manger scene. It was refreshing to see the community embrace such diversity in its parade. And, it was surprising (in what is assumed to be a “mature community”) to see more scouts than one could imagine. Santa, Mrs. Santa and an elf rode in a sleigh at the end of the parade and a good time was had by all.
On Wednesday, we took a trolley tour of the area. Naples is in Collier County, Florida. We learned that Barron Collier, Barron was his name – not a title, made his first million in the Chicago area by introducing advertising placards into the public transportation vehicles. Then he expanded his operation to New York City and made more millions. When he moved to the Naples area, he bought millions of acres of land at an average price of 25 cents an acre! His grandson is a developer in the Naples area today. Collier was responsible for most of the roads in the area and to make it even easier for people to visit Naples, he started what was more recently known as the Trailways Bus line. There are a number of celebrities who currently own homes in the Naples area, but I never knew that Charles Lindburgh also once owned a home in the area. We had a nice lunch at the Dock, an open-air waterfront restaurant, next to Naples City Dock, and then headed back to the yacht club.
