Ft. Myers Municipal Yacht Basin
Caloosahatchee River District
Week 2 

A visit from the Gorleys!


Enjoying the wind gust in front of the Edison & Ford Estates.

Sunset martinis on top of the Firestone, the tallest building on the River District. Only 4 stories!


Windy week with gusts up to 35!  We stayed in the marina most of the week walking the small city of Ft. Myers AND enjoying it's delicious restaurants.

However, on Wednesday we were able to cruise and anchor at Cayo Costa on Pelican Bay.


Stay in the channel.  Red to the left and green to the right.  No white knuckles for Mary Alice.




A natural!

Because of the wind on Tuesday and the fact that you can only get there by boat, nobody had ventured to the island. We were lucky and found traces of lots of sea creatures and many various kinds of shells, starfish, and sand dollars.


Mary Alice's treasure.

Cannot believe the wind brought this big baby ashore.  Must weigh more than a ton.

A calm night at anchor.  Good night Cayo Costa.
