No pictures today. Just a video of a fast sailboat on Linda's Facebook page.
We untied from the mooring ball at Ft. Myers Beach again at our usual seven o'clock. Ray made a wonderful breakfast while underway. It took about an hour to get to the Intracoastal Waterway. No more open water until we cross The Gulf of Mexico. It looks like that could happen in the next week.
We arrived at one of our usual anchorages near Don Pedro Island around 1:30 p.m. We were happy to find that the Slow Speed, Minimum Wake zone has been extended farther north than it used to be. That should help a little bit with the wakes. Just before our arrival we bragged that we have hardly ever seen anyone else use this anchorage. Shortly after our arrival four sailboats pulled in, two anchored on either side of us. The closest one pulled up anchor once because they thought they were too close. They did a complete circle around us and anchored in just about the same spot. If the wind and current subside enough to have us swing opposing directions, it could get interesting.
We spent the afternoon dinghying around the area, exploring some places we have been before and some new ones. That got our appetite worked up, so it's time to grill some steaks.
