ALMOST THERE

We slept in this morningand then took a walk. Right across the street from Marine Max in Venice is the Venice Airport which is where the 9/11 terrorists trained. There is also a circus school there with a trapeze outside to train on. We untied our lines at 10:10 A.M. We only went 31 miles to Pelican Bay and anchored out. It's raining, but not hard. It's a good thing we crossed when we did because today there are 7 to 10 foot waves in the Gulf. Tom Conrad certainly knows his stuff. We are expecting 15 to 20 mph winds tonight. It's less than one day's cruising time to get to North Fort Myers. We're hoping Paradise has room for both of our boats. So far we haven't been able to get a hold of anyone there. We'll have to wait and see.
