Preparing for adventure.
Finally found the boat and sold the house. Now looking for live aboard dockage in the area of Fort Myers/ Cape Coral. A plan and preparation of 15+ years is coming together

I like that boat!
Tell us more about it: Steel construction? What engine(s)? But most importantly, what anchor? 😳

I'd be interested to hear what you learn about dockage in that area. We'll be down there in March on vacation, but might do some casual abode shopping while we're at it...
