Tuesday April 3, 2012 we departed maybe the best spot along the West Coast of FL near Englewood Beach. We pulled up the anchor at 0930 and headed south. Our goal was to make it to Ft Myers but we saw another nice anchor spot about 2 hours out of Ft. Myers and dropped anchor in 10ft of water behind a little sandy island named on the chart as Picnic Island. Several boaters stopped by but come sunrise Wednesday morning there was only a sailboat and us. The waters were calm enough for me to row ashore and walk Maggie until she had all the vinegar out of her. We enjoyed a nice night with lots of stars and a bright moon. This morning we continued and found a city marina at Cape Coral. We were tied to the dock by 1030 and enjoying lunch on the aft deck at noon. We saw a sign that said they would have a sundown celebration this evening on the beach that we may join. Tomorrow we start the canal into Lake Okeechobee, going East. We start off by going through a lock. The first this year and the first since the Tombigbee. All is well.
