What marina did you choose on Lake Okeechobee?

Let me know if you need a dock in the Ft Myers area.

is a good EMAIL address but let me
know on here if you send anything.

Wayne: I have not chosen yet, it would seem to be too "confident"
knowing how weather can affect sailors. Your thoughts? I am a little
concerned because I have not been able to get her bottom cleaned by a
diver lately (too cold) so I will only be able to get to about a few
feet under water with the 4' long scraper. This will cost me about
1/2 kt. I'll take you up on your offer to stop for a night if you'll
give me directions. You may regret it cuz I painted my dinghy with
ultra-fluorescent yellow that'll burn retinas at 100 yards. That
yellow glow you see in the distance comign nearer will be us.
