Mon, Mar 1, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Walked early this morning and then we headed to LaBelle for groceries.  Picked up lunch on the way back.  Hot today.  After lunch I sat outside in the shade reading for a while.  Finished the book “In the Heart of the Sea, The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex” by Nathaniel Philbrick.  An amazing true story of the Essex which gets rammed by a pissed off sperm whale.  They had harpooned three of the pod and this huge bull got mad and rammed the ship twice, sinking it.  The 20 crew were stranded out in the middle of the Pacific in three rickety whaleboats with not enough provisions.  A harrowing story.  90 today.  Found a little frog that got squished in the door.
