Back on Board!


We are back on board our little Seawind after almost 2 years. The last 22 months have been really busy but truly interesting. We worked for a few months and then did a 10 month backpacking trip around the world, spending most of the time in India and South East Asia. (Blogs for that trip are still being completed ).

Anyway, the boat is in fine shape, a little more faded but Calusa Island Marina took fine care of her. We put her back together at our old spot at The Pink House Motel and set off for our next planned residence, Panama City, FL. The plan is to take around 2 months to get there stopping and exploring the Florida west coast as we go.

We set off from Goodland and snaked our way up the ICW via Marco Island and on to Naples where we will be staying to enjoy the Independence Day celebrations before moving on to Fort Myers. The Naples City Dock is a small but really friendly marina. We chose to stay on the moorings as it gives us good privacy and at $10/day it is good value. They have clean showers, and laundry facilities on site and a good grocery store in easy walking distance.

    Find me on Facebook when you are passing through the Longboat Key area. There are a number of fine anchorages around here, and a few best avoided!
