I'm kind of planning something for the fall. I've got to remember the Matanzas Pass mooring field. Thanks for the info Bonafide. I’m kind of planning something for the fall.

It was nice to get acquainted at Egmot and I'm envious of your extended run down the coast which we've done numerous times. What wonderful cruising grounds we have right in our back yard. Sounds like the wind was in your favor for most of the trip too. Kelli and I have also enjoyed the Palm Island Marina hot tub and restaurant(it was a Leverocks when we were there). Nice folks. I'd also highly recommend the next leg south from Cayo Costa/Cabbage key which would include the Tween Water Inn on N captiva and further S to Matanzas Pass where the mooring field is nicely done and Ft Myers beach is an easy walk with many watering holes. It's a nice jumping off point to the keys/tortugas from there......but thats another run. Aloha, Mike & Kelli Great story with all our favorite spots!
