Our New Home for a Month - Fort Myers Beach, FL. - Day 158

February 18, 2016
Day 158

We were not in a hurry to get underway this morning since we only had about 25 miles to travel to get to our marina in Ft. Myers Beach.  Below is the picture from our SPOT device showing our stops across south Florida from Stuart to Ft. Myers Beach.

Jake likes to relax in the morning sun in the salon on top of the liquor cabinet.

 When we finally got underway we saw some interesting sights.  We passed this sailboat which looked a lot like a small Spanish galleon.

It was a very pretty day on the water and pleasure boats were out in force.

We passed this restaurant in the middle of the water.  There is no way to get to it except by water, and it was very busy.  I didn't see it until I looked at this picture, but it looks like there is a body hanging from the roof.

Here we are approaching the north end of Estero Island, a barrier island where Ft. Myers Beach is located.

Once behind the island on the way to our marina, we saw many pelicans and a huge shrimp fleet.  Hopefully, we can buy some shrimp right off the boat.

Arriving at Fish Tales Marina, we also saw many pelicans, herons, and other birds.

At the end of the day, we walked across the street to the beach.  It seemed that everyone in Ft. Myers Beach also migrated to the beach to watch and take pictures of the sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico.  It was a memorable sight

I may not be posting every day for a while since we will be staying here for a month.  I'll blog as we find interesting things here to share.
