January 15: Boca Grande - Pelican Bay anchorage

When we left this morning, Steve put the bikes back on the flybridge as we intended to anchor out tonight. It's finally warm enough that we don't feel a need to be able to run a heater all night! You can see in the background another example of the Florida real estate problems. This was to be a condo/marina "opening soon" as the old sign on the road still reads.

The dinghy was in the water pretty quickly as Steve wanted to check out the state park we are anchored near. I think fishing on the dock is in order as we saw someone catch a grouper and a sheepshead (not the same as the Lake Erie kind)! I think that may in the picture for tomorrow :-) The anchorage tonight is very nice and well protected. The winds are due to be from the NNW at 5 mph so it should be a good sleeping night! There are boats from Maine and South Carolina as well as a couple of Florida boats. First out of state boats we've seen in a while. There may or may not be pictures coming - slow internet (actually I'm surprised we even have a signal). May just stay here tomorrow night as well before moving on to Ft. Myers.
