Marco Island Yacht Club - 1/28/11

We left Fort Myers around 10 a.m. for the 59 mile run to Marco Island. Another pretty day in paradise. The trip was uneventful except for the slight chop on the water.

This is a picture of Naples from about 3 miles off shore.

When you look the other way (west) ... nothing but water.

We pulled into Marco Island Yacht Club at 4:15 which was a little pricey but very accommodating. The dock master contacted us as we were coming up the Marco River and basically stayed with us until we entered the harbor. Then he was there to catch our ropes and power cords. Very nice.

Tomorrow is a straight run to Marathon and Boot Key Harbor. We will be at Sombrero Marina & Resort for 2 weeks before starting up the east side of Florida. Our position tonight is: N 25 57.612 W 81 42.741
