Jan 2, 2015. To Ft Meyers Beach

Rich woke us all up at o'dark thirty.  Kathy looked out and said there was too much fog, but Rich said that is why we have radar, so she couldn't argue with that.  Kathy was right, it was so foggy that it was reminiscent of a scene from "Pirates of the Caribbean".  Rich said it was less than 1/4 mile visibility.  The radar worked good and the fog started to lift a couple hours later.  Meanwhile, since this was not the scenic tour we had hoped for, Bitts and I were bored to death and decided to take a nap.  After the fog lifted and we were headed to Ft Meyers Beach, the boat traffic was so heavy, that it cut into our nap time and Bitts and I watched as America's fuel supply flew past us.  It was like being at the NASCAR races, except the traffic was going both ways.  No need to go to the Miami Boat Show either, as the parade of big bucks boats was never ending.  We just chugged along with our diesel engine that just sips fuel.  Kathy says that is because we are "poor folks" and have more time than money.  Once at the mooring balls in Ft Meyers Beach, we got to go for a dinghy ride and hit the grass.  All in all, a great day.  I guess we will stay here 2 nites and then move south.
