After two windy days in Sarasota, we were finally on our way to Ft. Myers. It was a long day, took us 8.5 hours. But we needed to make up for the time we lost spending two nights at Marina Jack's. We started out in the pilot house because it was pretty chilly. But by noon we had moved to the flybridge to catch the views. It was still a little cool, but that's why we brought different clothes to layer with.

As we approached the Caloosahatchee River leading to Lake Okeechoobee, we saw my sister's condo off in the distance.We also passed the Number 1
buoy on the Intra Coastal heading north towards Tarpon Springs.

We arrived at Legacy Marine in downtown Ft. Myers around 4pm. After we docked Barb and Joe Huber, friends of ours from Kentucky for over 30 years, took us to their condo. We had a much needed shower and dinner at Flipper's in Estero.
