We are a little behind schedule on our blog updates but we finally left Fort Myers Beach and traveled 33 miles to Naples where we stayed at the City Dock for five days. Our friend Teresa from Galveston flew into Fort Myers and traveled with us to Naples. Great place to spend a few days. Teresa left on Monday the 18th and another longtime friend Donna flew in and has traveled with us the last two days. We had two great weather days with calm seas and traveled Tuesday from Naples for 70 miles to a great anchorage in the Little Shark River in the Florida Everglades. We did not see any sharks however. There were 7 other boats in the same anchorage. We left Little Shark this morning and traveled about 50 or so miles to Marathon, Florida across Florida Bay. Great day on the boat despite dodging crab pots all day and all the way in to Boot Key Harbor. We got into Sombrero Dockside Marina this afternoon and met our next door neighbors from Tn, Van and Diane, and had a great meal this evening with an number of fellow loopers who are here.
Carolyn and Donna helped all day today looking for crab pots and markers coming into the keys. We will be here for several weeks and look forward to getting to know lots of new people we met today. Just a few pics for this update. Willi is doing well and met a new little friend his size today...her name is LuSea!. Anyway the weather is great down here, around 75-80 during the day, and lots of sunshine. Marathon is what they call 'Old Florida' and I believe it....really laid back.
