I would RT, but I don't think my University student Daughter and her friend are interested in that. As much as would be.Greetings,
Stop in and see Mr. FF.
Yes that was the one I was looking at. Been by LaBelle several times this Winter on the trawler and keep seeing the free dock there. Too small for my trawler, but was thinking it would be a good stopping spot for lunch with my other boat.Thanks Ted
The Forey Grill in Labelle is just two blocks from the dock.
We went that way Saturday.While not "upstream", Cabbage Key would be fun for the teens if they haven't been. Another note is the many no wake zones that are upstream this time of year.
I'll keep an eye out for that.I seem to remember a riverside bar/grille with its own docks in Alva, overlooked the river. Doesn't show up on any maps. Was a several years ago, might be gone
Thought I was going to have to crash there tonight. Only had 4 minutes to spare before last lock at Ortona on return today from the Labelle trip. It went well, restaurant is great. It's a shame those town docks don't get used. They're all filled in with growth. Just plowed on in, tied up , walked past the DOC crew doing road work. [emoji10]We spent a night at Fred's dock in 2009 it's a great spot and good company!
Thanks FF!
I must be missing something. Not sure how far you went, but the lock between Fort Myers and LaBelle is the Franklin lock. Did you go way past LaBelle and through the Ortona lock? BTW, FF is East of the Ortona lock.Thought I was going to have to crash there tonight. Only had 4 minutes to spare before last lock at Ortona on return today from the Labelle trip.

And had lunch.
Thanks everyone.
No I must have grabbed the wrong lock name. Thanks Ted.I must be missing something. Not sure how far you went, but the lock between Fort Myers and LaBelle is the Franklin lock. Did you go way past LaBelle and through the Ortona lock? BTW, FF is East of the Ortona lock.
