Cape Coral

Cape Coral has a population of over 200,000 people, and over 400 miles of navigable canals and waterways.

We arrived here yesterday from Captiva, and I was awed by the traffic – a steady stream of boats that went on for miles.

We had a very nice visit with our friends John and Susie, whom we met last month in Key West. They have a beautiful 50′ Riviera. The live in Iowa in the summer, and they spend the winter on the boat in Cape Harbour, one of the many developments within Cape Coral.

I might have stayed here longer, but we are expecting a lot of wind on Thursday, so I have to cover some ground today. We’ll move on to Marco Island today, hole up there on Thursday to let the weather pass, and then we expect to make the crossing to Key West on Friday.

I registered this morning for the Covid vaccine in Chester County; hopefully I will have risen to the top of the list by the time we return in April.

I’ll post again on Thursday when I have more time.
