Our cruise on Thursday was wonderful! We are now far enough south to feel like we are really in Florida. The water is a beautiful shade of green and the sun popped out and made for a glorious ride to Marco Island. About half of the trip down from Cayo Costa was in the very last part of the intracoastal water way, ending at the north end of Pine Island and the Southern tip of Sanibel Island. The rest of the way we were in the Gulf on seas of about 1 foot. Very nice.
We pulled into Rose Marina on Marco about 3 pm on Thursday and ended up staying three days. Marco is spectacular and we got to see a lot of it thanks to Doug and Jane's neighbors in Washington, Frank and Linda, who now live full time on Marco Island. Their condo overlooks the marina where we stayed!
The beaches on Marco Island are beautiful white sand and huge. The area has many great restaurants and expensive homes on cool little canals and high rise condos all over the island. High winds kept is in Marco an extra day which we really enjoyed even though we had to move to the Marco Island Yacht Club. I know, we are surprised they let us in too.
On to our anchorage at the mouth of Shark River off the everglade coast! Next day to Marathon and then on to Key West!
Marco Island offers some of the best beaches in the world.
