After a great Chirstmas and New Years with family and friends we are now back aboard Here and Now at Salty Sams Marina in Fort Myers Beach. The morning we left our home on the Tennessee River it was 8 degrees and we were looking forward to some warmer weather down south...not to be. It was a record 31 degrees last night and warmed to @ 55 degrees today. Since we returned we have visited Sanibel Island and did some shelling on the one warm day we have had. We ate at a great little resturant called the Island Cow. We have been getting all our stuff organized and cleaning the boat. We hope to leave this week for Naples for a few days and then next week on the Everglades and Marathon....weather permitting. We will be running outside in the Gulf of Mexico from here to Marathon but fairly close to shore. While here we have changed oil and had the boat bottom cleaned and checked as well.
Carolyn and Willi are doing good but we are ready to move on. I have our charts plotted and GPS routes prepared to Marathon with stops in Naples and Little Shark River ( on the hook).
Attached are some pics from Sanibel and Marina here at Salty Sams including the new rod holder flagstaff we got for Christmas......
Glad you are back on the water again. Hope this earthquake thing does not mess with your trip. Did Willi have a stocking for Christmas? The pics you posted are beautiful and don't look cold but I know it is very cold in FL. Take care and post often.
