Norm why not move your boat over to Goodland.. there is an anchorage there and it will put you 30-40 miles at the most from Fort Myers. You also, might see if they are still letting people anchor behind the mooring field... go thru it southward and anchor there..
I have a copy, somwhere, of the Anchorages of SW Florida.. granted it is very old... only one edition was ever put out.. But I do have it.. I might can find a few more anchorages closer to Fort Myers.. There is also a great anchorage just inside Venice Inlet. It starts after you go past the Crow's Nest hang a right and follow the edges of docks to the backside of the anchorage .. its pretty huge and safe... I think there are some around Boca Grande as well.. if you want them I can dig out my copy of the book 'bella aboard On Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 4:13 PM, Norm of Bandersnatch < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > All, > > > I have been remiss in not responding sooner to all the folks who took the > time to write in response to my email(s) with the Subject: The Livaboard > Lifestyle. > > My assessment of the situation provoked many people to write, some in > agreement, some in disagreement, and some to fill in blanks and correct > misunderstandings.
