Fort Myers

Well, I’ve made it to Fort Myers. I’m out on the hook and loving life.

I met two new friends (Sam and Jim) that I’ve been speaking to through the website for a few years now. They showed up with some provisions and a Yamaha generator for me to start my repairs with, “Whaoo” I have power, thanks guys. I told them I’d like to offer charter time in the keys in return for the favor, everyone is happy. For me the generator means power tools, and Splendid needs a lot of repairs!! Some might say she looks like a derelict boat but just wait till I’m done; she just needs love, and love she will get.

Josh and I have become good friends and I think he is really enjoying the boat life. It’s his first month with a sail boat and he’s taking to it like a fish to water.

I’m using the dinghy dock and free internet access at the city of Fort Myers Yacht Basin (http://www.cityftmyers.com/attractions/yachtbasin.aspx) and they are really nice people here, it’s nice to be in a sailing town.

I’m going to be hunting Craigs list and ebay for a 60lb CQR, windlass, big inverter, and an outboard (8 – 9.9hp) If anyone knows of something please let me know.

I bought a stereo today at best buy and will be installing it tonight, I can’t wait to have music.

Cheers everyone.

Peace, Love, and Fort Myers!!!
