Big Storm Brewing Company

On Saturday, Darci and Ellen biked about 6 miles to town and stumbled upon the Cape Coral Art Festival which had about 300 booths spanning many blocks. After we had looked at the wares in each and every booth, we met the boys who had been working on boat projects while we were gone. It was then that all of a sudden Ellen started feeling more run down than she should have been feeling so she and Kevin Ubered back to the boat while Darci and Steve took the bikes and went for a bite to eat. In the meantime, Ellen took her temperature and had a slight fever so, once they returned to the boat, she took a COVID test – just to be sure – and BAM, it was positive. We quickly came up with a plan for Ellen to stay out of the cabin and mask up 24/7. She packed a bag and headed to the flybridge where she would sleep for the next several days.
