Sanibel Island

It looks like I will be able to go to Sanibel Island this year.

In case you do not know, last year hurricane Charlie hit Punta Gorda / Port Charlotte FL. Sanibel Island was also in the path of some pretty bad stuff. The time share had major roof damage, and everything in the apartment was soaked. Then the mold set in.

Anyway, all that will be fixed. The unit is not open yet, but they say it will be open very soon. So I will be able to go! That is, unless the mold comes back. That stuff is hard to get rid of.

I took the picture below one morning before I went fishing. In the background you can see San Carlos Bay. It is a protected waterway, as can be seen from the calm sea. I was facing to the north. That is not my sailboat, but it is close to what I would like to get one day. My boat is an 18 foot powerboat(here is another view from the roof) . That sailboat is about 25 - 28 feet. It would make a really nice weekend cruiser. You could even live on it, but if I were going to do that I would want something a little larger.

Click HERE for the full size photo. It is about 500k. I will share more of my Sanibel Island photos over the next few weeks. When I go there in July, I will have a Sanibel picture of the day. The resort has some sort of high speed internet access in the apartments.

I really like my week on the island. It is only 170 miles from my front door to the resort parking lot. I have been going almost every year for at least 25 years now.


This is not my boat :(
