Sanabel Island

Wed 3-10 Spent day biking around Marco Island and at beach.

Thurs and Fri- Naples Harbor, Anchor in protected basin surrounded by mansions. Bike around city and beaches. While motoring out of harbor entrance a large stingray ( 3 ft across) took 3 leaps out of the water in front of us. On the third jump it hit us broadside high enough to spray us. If we had been in a boat with lower sides it probably would have been in the boat. We had seen them jumping a few times but never this close.

Sat- Arrived Ft Meyers Beach Harbor yesterday afternoon after a great sail. The beach is packed with college kids on spring break. Annual Shrimpfest added even more crowds. Glad we're on bikes as streets are jammed.

Sun- Brunch at waterfront bar then short sail across San Carlos Bay to Sanabel Is. Bike around and enjoyed great beaches. Weather the past few days has been sunny with temps in lo 80's.
