Have you ever heard of LaBelle, FL? We left Cape Coral this morning after a night of getting bounced around by a thunderstorm that passed over around midnight. We had some good winds but very little rain. We were in the dock so all was OK and no damage was done. We made the scheduled opening of the W.P. Franklin Lock at 1100. There were 5 boats in the lock and it took only a few minutes to raise the water 2ft. We cruised at about 7mph and arrived at our destination about 2pm. LaBelle has a free dock next to a bridge that every truck carrying fresh oranges out of South FL must pass. Although it is noisy you can't beat the price. The little town is nice and has a few amenities. One was a coffeshop with fresh pastries. As the sun goes down and the temps drop it seems we can appreciate LaBelle, my Bell, a little better.
