Today's journey consisted of 20 miles of travel, 14 of it backtracking to mile zero of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Thankfully the waters weren't as busy as they were Saturday, but still plenty.
We pulled into Mantanzas Pass just in time for the fuel dock to return our phone call. The diesel price was so unbelievable that we called him back. Florida is confusing because you do pay sales tax on fuel now. It was at least 50 cents per gallon cheaper though, so of course we planned to fuel up although not really needed.
Once we were off the phone we saw Tom waving to us from "Q's End". He hailed us on the VHF radio and asked about lunch. We told him we would be about an hour by time we fueled up and got moored.
After we found our way to mooring ball 16 at Ft Myers Beach, we dinghied to shore to check in and spent lunch, afternoon, and dinner with Tom and Linda plus other new friends we met along the way.
We are jealous
