January 29-31, 2015 - Ft. Myers Beach to Saddlebunch Harbor


We left Ft. Myers Beach around 6:55 Thursday morning.  We traveled outside in the Gulf for three days heading for Key West.  The ride was a little choppy at first on Thursday but got smoother as we went.  We followed Attitude Changer to Panther Key where we anchored for the night.  We tucked back between several small islands.  It was very peaceful with a beautiful view.   Friday morning we left Panther Key around 6:55 am and arrived at Little Shark River around 1:30.  It was a beautiful run down to Little Shark River, although we dodged a lot of crab pots along the way.  The water was calm and beautiful.  After we anchored, we got the dinghy down and took a ride to visit the other boats who were also anchored out around us.  Jack and Ross tried their hand at fishing – but to no avail.  We left Little Shark River at 6:50 am Saturday. There were approximately 12 boats anchored in Little Shark River and most left when we did.  Serenity and Onward were with us until we hit Marathon.   The ride that day was pretty choppy with LOTS of crab pots to watch for.  We anchored in Saddlebunch Harbor for the night.
