Pelican Bay to Cortez and Home: As we saw the days winding down our decision to not push so hard was rewarded by our good friends driving down from Tampa to see us and Belle in Cortez. We had met by chance prior to picking up Belle while sitting in a resteraunt planning our trip. Carol apparently says to Dean… Hey, they are talking about boats… and the rest is history. More on that later as we have had great fun traveling the country going to boat shows and boat yards while finding some absolutely great places to eat and drink.
Our stay in Cortez was at the Sea Food Shack (nough said) that’s both friendly and convenient. After enjoying a great dinner with our friends we retired and got ready for the next day which meant bring Belle Aurore home to her new port.
We have been to Cortez many times and have enjoyed great nights on the hook as well as at the marina. A great out of the way place for a relaxing stay.
