check the depths in goodland.. its a small fishing village near naples.. used to people anchoring thier boats there.. has a dingy dock and parking for the anchorage. I had a freind who lived there a whole season.. no problems.. might consider a run down for a look see.. depths I dunno..
fort myers beach is probably off limits... due to size and depth.. bear in mind.. the more you leave the boat the more chances you get for hassles... The FDLE recieved buttloads of money in the last couple of years for "enforcement" from Homeland Stupidity...they have to justify that money.. that is the basis for a lot of 'enforcement'...without a mast, the boat can be seen as a 'derelict' even if it is not.. your best bet is to make buddy buddy with the local water cops. Why not ask around on the sailing boards for help moving the boat.. lats and atts has a lot of sailors on the left coast who have time on thier hands.. that could help you take the boat south and around.. I think if you did the research you might find someplace a lot closer.. Thanks the info on for local anchorages in the Ft Myers area. If things change this option may become more viable. > > Bear in mind my boat is 63' LOA and has an eight foot draft; would this > have any effect on your suggestions? > > Norm > S/V Bandersnatch > Lying Julington Creek > 30 07.695N 081 38.484W > > > > > 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..

It's about the freedom. http://www.slideshare.net/jacko91/these-are-my-credentials/ http://fisherhouse.org/ http://www.specialops.org/ "We are the gaurdians of a great faith. When we believe that freedom offers the best chance of peace and prosperity for all, and our desire for peace cannot be seperated from our believe in liberty." Harry J. Truman Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
