Ft. Myers Beach, Florida - Weeks 1 - 2

Our Gulf Crossing Buddy Boats were reunited! What a great surprise to be reunited with Bob and Lynn, aboard American Pie, and Steve and Janice, aboard One Bay At A Time at Moss Marina! We enjoyed catching up with them over a beachy dinner in Times Square, Fort Myers Beach located on Estero Island, Florida!


Our three vessels ready to begin the crossing from Carrabelle to Clearwater last month.

Cape May, New Jersey (Through Delaware)

 Today weather was perfect to travel farther than we expected when we left this morning.  We traveled slower this morning than if we had planned to do such a long stretch in one day. The day turned out better than expected. After an hour and a half break/fuel stop in the Chesapeake and Delaware (C & D) Canal we continued on. We traveled through Delaware today the distance we originally planned to do in two days!  We traveled 128.3 NM and are docked at Utsch's Marina in Cape May, NJ.
