2010 boat trip down the St. John’s River
May 22, 2010 – Ft. Myers to Englewood, FL It was kind of a rocky-rolly night due to the fact that we were on the end of the inner breakwater. The waves were wrapping around and creating some turbulence. Once the light wind stopped, the movement did too, and I was able to get some …

April 10, 2010 – Ft. Myers Beach, FL About 5:00 this morning, the tide changed directions and combined with the wind direction, the mooring ball started bumping into the hull of the boat.

April 3, 2010 -Ft. Myers Beach Bob and I slept in and then did a few boat chores. We dinghied to shore to meet my parents and our friends, Nancy and Nick, who had taken the drive up from Marco Island to meet us for lunch. We all met at Matanzas Restaurant and Marina around …
