A recap of our trip back to Port Charlotte





It's has been pretty much a non-stop affair since we left Lake Worth. We are now on the road, slowly working our way north but it wouldn't be fair to leave out the last part of our adventure for the winter of 2010/11. We met a bunch of nice folks and had a few good sails along the way.

So.......after leaving Key Largo we decided to make it down to Shell Key to enjoy the nice warm, clear water and do some of the last swimming for awhile. The Key has 3 free mooring balls and there was nobody around so we had the place to ourselves. From there it was to Marathon for the last of the provisioning before crossing Florida Bay and up the west coast of Florida. On the way out we spotted a very cool motor vessel. My guess was correct as afterwards we looked her up and she is Steve Dashew's aluminum vessel, "Wind Horse". Very impressive!!!

The crossing of the Bay was much less so ..........see any wind in the pictures?
