Day 20 Captiva 2019

Friday, Feb 22
We were up by 7am.  We went out to the beach from 9-10 and found a few shells and saw a lone dolphin swimming by but no birds on the beach.

 Dolphin in the center

We had a breakfast of poached eggs, sausage, toast, juice, and strawberries.   We went to South Sea shops about noon. We bought Al Olukai sandals slides with velcro straps at Regatta. Headed back to porch and then back to the beach about 3pm. We saw another dolphin just as we arrived and he was swimming closer to shore between waves and shore.

We had dinner at 5 at Doc Ford's Captiva.  Arrived before the crowd and were seated in a quiet booth. We shared a dozen fresh oysters on the half shell. Al ordered Mussels appetizer - Steamed in a broth of roasted garlic, shallots, Roma tomatoes, fresh basil, white zinfandel and a hint of cream and butter.  I had Calamari salad - Lightly battered calamari tossed with mixed Everglades greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, a sweet and sour vinaigrette dressing and topped with crispy wontons.  We shared the dinners. Manhattan and Mojito for drinks.  Enjoyed a delicious meal and great service.
