East Coast to West Coast complete !

Up early at sunrise and bound for the Gulf of Mexico.  The final leg to the Gulf took about an hour, passing  Cape Coral and Sanibel Island.  Passing under the Sanibel Island bridge, we briefly entered the Gulf for the one hour trip to Ft. Myers Beach.  The city has a mooring field managed by the Matanzas Inn, one of the unique older hotels in the Island.  We ate at a popular watering hole called Nervous Nellies where the servings are so large, you wished you had shared an entree.  We decided to spend a night here on our way to the Fish Tale Marina, where we have a slip reserved for the next month.  Ft. Myers Beach is a major winter tourist destination, so we plan on spending some time here checking out what they have to offer.

 The Gulf of Mexico with Ft.Myers Beach to port.  Open water is always a thrill.
