Day 99 Jan 21 45 miles to Hamilton Harbor Marina Naples FL

Good bye Fort Myers....8:55AM departure.

City of Fort Myers Yacht Basin

Nice meeting Mike and Harriet....thanks for your knowledge about "boats" and a way of life we want to explore....
See you in the Keys Steve and Denise who are sailing to the Dry Tortugua....be safe

We follow our breadcrumbs back to Green Marker 101....or as Tim says....your pecker tracks....
The river is CALM.....smooth as glass.....where are my water skies...
Saddi is on her blanket today......ready to go.....

What a life she has
 
Your Own Island....For Sale
 
You even have a boat dock

We pick up boat traffic around Shell Point.....many fishing boats....a few big boats going various ways.  At Green 101 we turn south.  This is "new" for us.

There is alot of action around Punta Raesa and Fort Myers Beach.  We go under the Sanibel Causeway and out into the Gulf of Mexico. and to Marker SC.

On our port we see real estate that lines the coast and on starboard we see  the Gulf of Mexico.  We are running about 3 nm off shore and we are still seeing lots of crab pots.  The water is calm....great day

Miles and miles of Condos
 
Naples
 
 
At Gordon Pass we enter our channel and see some the beautiful homes in Naples.

We are staying at Hamilton Harbor Marina.  Today being Monday....the Yacht Club is closed.  This is a remote marina for walking to a restaurant so we watch the sunset, dinner on the boat and a quiet evening.

Sadi last walk for the evening was interesting....she spots "live" animals.....and her nose was working and she was dancing....oh me....5 deer playing in the field by the dry docks....Here we are in Naples with million dollar real estate covering every inch and we see deer playing.
