Days 191 & 192 – at Snook Bight Marina - January 13-14, 2012

We spent our last few days at Snook Bight doing chores.  Laundry got done and the pantry and freezer got stocked.  Fred has been paying close attention to weather as we will be going out in the Gulf for most of the rest of the trip from here to Marathon.  The Gulf Intercoastal Waterway (GIWW) basically ends here at Fort Myers.  There is a small section of the GIWW from Naples to Marco Island that we plan to use but it is unofficially called “the old GIWW” and does not appear to be maintained to GIWW depth anymore.  Therefore, Fred is looking for a weather window a few days long that we can use to get from here to Naples and Marco Island and then another to get from Marco Island to Little Shark River and Marathon.  It is great to be planning our next jumps south!
