Today we had a pretty pleasant cruise down the coast from Fort Myers Beach to the familiar cul-de-sac we anchored in twice during our 2009 trip down here. This place is in amongst palacial homes of the uber-rich here in the Naples area.
As we exited the Fort Myers Beach area we were “over flown” by para-sail chutes towed by para-sail boats. It was obvious that it was being done on purpose, and I was quite concerned at the potential hazard to all concerned. As a result, I called the local Coast Guard station and complained and told them that they need to reach out to the para-sail companies and straighten them out.
This evening Seminole is rafted alongside Calypso, and we all got together and ginned up a nice steak dinner.
Tomorrow, it is our intention to head down the inland passage between Naples and Marco Island and then into the inland passage from Marco to Goodland after which we will debouch into Florida Bay, turn eastward and end up our 40-plus mile day in Everglades City at the Rod and Gun Club for a day or two.
For family and friends wishing to keep up with us, we offer this blog as a simple means of voluntarily doing so.
And fini for the Miss Patricia
