Waverunner? You have been seduced by the forces of the
Dark Side.

Don't know about the dark side but I guess I was seduced quite a while
ago now....all I know is that many of the best times we've ever had
have been on our various long-distance and overnight pwc cruises,
never gotten in any trouble or caused any. Around Christmas of this
year, we will be visiting my parents in SW Florida, and are planning
an overnight run (short trip by my usual standards, but the days are
short this time of year) from Marco Island to the Pine Island Sound
area, hoping to check out Sanibel, Captiva and Cayo Costa for some
beaching, shelling, hiking and picture taking, and exploring some of
the mangrove trails in the back bays along the way looking for
dolphins, and staying overnight at a little resort I found in Ft.
Myers Beach.

about 5 miles NE of Clayton. Speaking of lighthouse, if make it back to Clayton, you should check out the light house on Quebec Head (East end
of Wolfe I.m may be listed as "Port Townsend" on your
charts). It's
actually a home, more or less copied from a Chesapeake
Bay light house.


I'm not sure if I'll make the same trip a third time, probably would
go someplace different next time I can go on a summer vacation, but I
think we did catch pretty much every lighthouse (and lots more) in the
whole area on the first trip back in '05, here's a link on the off
chance that you'd be interested in browsing my wife's lovely pics of
the area -
