We apparently finally wore out our welcome at Legacy Harbor. They simply had a full house and we had to leave on Sunday. Luckily, Martha had been working the folks at the Ft Myers Yacht Basin and they finally set us up with a slip for the month. So, we've got a home port for the next month right here in downtown Ft, Myers. So far it seems OK. Fixed docks rather than floating but full length finger piers that are the perfect height for getting on and off without added steps. Water depth seem OK so far - we at least are measuring water under the hull. And we're on the eastern side of the marina which is a little further removed from the downtown "gawkers" walking by the boats in the western basin. Several looper boats here for the season as well as a number of liveaboards who keep an eye on things. Overall, pretty satisfied with the arrangements considering our late decision to try and stay here for a month.

We're still hoping to get a little gunkholing in when the weather cooperates. Sanibel, Captiva and Ft. Myers Beach are all just a 3 hour cruise away and even Naples can be reached in a long cruising day.
Journey for Jan. 5 (all 1 miles of it!)
