If your plans include a stop in or near Fort Myers, let's get together for dinner.

It's a lake out here this morning. Wind is under 2 knots. The manatee count is now over 30 in the last 2.5 hours.
Speaking of which:
Is the season open?
What's the bag limit?
Do you filet them like a flounder or chuck them like a tuna?

One of the reasons I like to travel at 7 knots.
Fun to watch 3 or 4 porpoises riding the pressure wave in front of the bow. Have to remember to stay in the channel.

Those be dolphins. Look at the nose.
Rare to see porpoises in Florida.

We will be coming through there. I will look you up.
Check out this shot I got last night at the Oriental free docks. A shrimper on our side of the harbor had his deck lights on and set up the shot lighting.

Great shot, Dave. The lighting was perfect. Of course the black hulls on either end really set off the picture.

Very nice shot!
Anchored in the mooring field at Sunset Bay marina in Stuart, FL this morning.
Very nice marina and mooring field! Visited and went out to dinner with "Magic" crew last night, very nice!
So this was my first time on a mooring. Picking up the mooring was a little challenging. I'm single handing and the wind is breezing 10 to 15. There are rumors about 4 tries and a dropped boat hook. With no pictures or video, they're just rumors. It didn't happen that way and can't possibly be substantiated.

Can't be substantiated. Hmm.
Slip for the night $135, mooring for the night $30. I don't care what they say about Ted, we think he's a bright guy. Dinner was great and we loved the opportunity to get together again. The dogs miss you already. Travel safe my friend.

I'm thinking under the circumstances, single handed, 10-15breeze, 4 tries is impressive !

Howard and I are friends. Friends don't mooch; they don't keep score either.

The mechanic is at the boat today clearing up the survey hit list. If I can close by next week I will have Thanksgiving in Daytona. Christmas in Stewart and New Years in Clearwater.

Since it appears you have no friends, let me explain to you how it works. Howard and his wife (fabulous cook) have had me over for dinner on their boat a number of times. Since I'm gallery challenged, I enjoy taking them to dinner.
Hope you find some friends that are as welcoming as they are to me.

This afternoon's pic is from the dolphins before the Myakka lock and lake Okeechobee. A nice gentle breeze and cool evening temps are forecast for tonight's anchorage.
BTW, is it just me, or does going under this train bridge before the Myakka lock, that resembles a guillotine, give you the creeps.
Ted

Last day of the trip. Pretty sunrise and flat water on the Caloosahatchee river. Great day to finish!
