Today we traveled 37.6 NM to Ft. Myers Beach, Florida. Dolphins, manatees, and pelicans everywhere! Beautiful views along this stretch. We will enjoy a month stay here at Moss Marina.

The migrating white pelicans we saw along the Illinois River have made it to Boca Grande!

We enjoyed a great week with family in Palmetto! Thank you Marty and Linda, Debbie and Scott for such special times together!  Today, we traveled 57.7 NM to Englewood, Florida. Beautiful views along many Manatee Slow Zone areas. We enjoyed docking with fellow Facebook Live Aboards, Tom and Sue, Marty and Lee, Michael. Rat Terrier Hackett and his crew, Margaret and Michael. The night was filled with tons of laughter! Garmin had a great time with new dock pup friends. We had a fantastic night with such great people! These times are what makes our adventure so rich!!! We are thankful for such a warm welcoming! And the laughs made for lifetime memories! We are docked at Cape Haze Marina, Englewood, Florida.
