Day 1: The Journey Begins

Today we cast off the lines to leave Fort Myers under beautiful blue skies. First stop was Burnt Store Marina in Punta Gorda for Fuel. A short hop of 35 miles in the bay and ICW. We met up with Dean and Gina our old neighbors in Grapevine that moved to Punta Gorda a couple years ago. We skipped lunch and a good thing, it took us longer than expected to travel the 70 miles to Tarpon Springs to arrive after they closed. Dock master came out and got us slotted in a slip next to the fuel dock so all was good and had a good day on the water in open ocean with less than 2ft seas.

Distance Traveled: 110nm / 110nm
