Got the Contributing Memberships stuff finally worked out and made up a thread as a sort of "How-To" to help people figure out how to participate. So if you need help figuring it out, here's the thread you need to take a look at -> http://www.corvetteflorida.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3581 Thank you, everyone! Rich Z.

When I started the thread about breakfast I mentioned we would like to go for a cruise. The only replies I got were no goes because some had other commitments. On Sunday morning I asked Vicki which direction to head and she said south, she knows I hate driving north of the Skyway. So it was last minute here. When it cools off a tad, we want to take a drive down to Captiva. I think driving the islands would be nice in the Vette. We spent a week there two years ago and would like to visit for day. If nothing before that maybe we can meet for breakfast or something then. Justa thought :yesnod:

I have only had dinner at the Bubble Room. It is a very eclectic sort of place with 50s memorabilia everywhere. I have heard some people not be happy but everything that I have had has been very good. They have a great prime rib (Tarzan cut, very large on the bone) as an example. But the best things are the rolls and the desserts. They bring you a basket of rolls that includes garlic bread and sweet cinnamon rolls. Very good! Their desserts are incredible. They have very large cakes and they only get about six slices out of the cake. You will definitely be bringing some home.
If you are looking for a place for lunch, you also might want to consider the Mucky Duck. Looks right out at the gulf and the food is pretty good as well. I have heard that the Lazy Flamingo is also good, but I have not tried it yet.
I wish we had known that you were headed south on Sunday, my wife and I would have been happy to pull one of the Vettes out of the garage and meet you somewhere! Maybe next time!

Rick,
You are correct, the Mucky Duck is closed on Sundays. Here is a link to their website.

Parking is always an issue on Captiva. None of the restaurants on or around Andy Rosse have adequate parking. Here are a few options. At the four way stop at Andy Rosse, if you make a right and head 1/2 block toward Pine Island Sound you will find Captiva Cruises. They have paid parking, I think it is $5 and the parking lot is a sand/ground shell base. You can park there and then walk to the Bubble Room, Key Lime Bistro, RC Otter's, Latte Da, and Sunshine Cafe.
There is also a restaurant called the Green Flash and it is a couple blocks before the 4 way stop at Andy Rosse, and they have their own parking. I have not eaten there but have heard it has good food. It does have a view of Pine Island Sound. Here is the link to this place.

I hope this helps!

Yea, No parking anywhere and I think it's $4.00 to park at any beaches.Rich427 said:
I was reading up on the Green Flash yesterday a possibility.
When we went on the Captiva Dolphin Cruise we walked over and they still wanted us to pay for parking.
