Cape Haze Marina to Fort Myers Beach

Sadly, these condos in Cape Haze Marina were never finished...looks rather post-apocalyptic doesn't it?

Condos that were completed are very nice

Southern Belle looking good at the dock

Artsy view of the electric stanchions on the dock

We were underway by 9am (late for us) and saw this Osprey along the way

Boca Grande Swing Bridge. Clearance is 9ft. We needed an opening and Kerm powered up to get us there in time for the scheduled 10am opening

We were just in time

Captiva Pass

Pt. Ybel Light on the southernmost tip of Sanibel Island

Fort Myers Beach Bridge

There are several Coast Guard vessels here at the station...this one had guns!!

Look at the huge paint stall they have at Diversified Yacht Services...you could fit many Belles in there

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today we traveled 43.7 miles from Cape Haze Marina to the mooring field at Fort Myers Beach.  The day was mostly overcast so we didn't get sunburned.  It also is not super warm...we are still chasing the hot weather.

We will probably stay here for a couple of days and then head up to Cape Coral to visit with brother Joe.  Linda (sister) will be coming down to join us for the Bahamas section on December 9.  She'll be coming in to Fort Myers and will be with us for the duration.

So far this trip we have traveled 2200 miles.  The Belle has safely transported us for almost 10,000 miles since we bought her.  Thank you Belle...and the crew behind her making it all work.   .
