MARCO ISLAND

We emerged from the 10,000 Islands region and are back in condo hell. Marco Island is just a stop over on our way up the west coast. Our goal is to make it to and through the Okechobee Waterway (again) before the water level drops too low. If that happens, we will have to go all the way back around.

We are anchored in Factory Bay. Nice spot. Unfortunately, Marco Island is what happens when you have a vision and too much money and time on your hands. The island is the northernmost of the 10,000 islands and it is also the largest. Unfortunately, it's lush green mangrove forests have been removed and replaced with condos. Oh well.

WHAT THIS ALL MEANS

This is the story of two people, madly in love, cruising all over the place aboard a Roughwater 41 named Abreojos. Learn as we learn and experience as we experience, the sights and sounds, the images, and the ideas, the textures and the colors that make America the greatest country on earth..."from the port side."

"From the port side" refers to how, as we travel around the eastern half of America in a counter-clockwise direction, we will be looking inward from the left side (The Port Side) of the boat. It's no more than a cliche, but it works.

"The Voyage Continues" refers to how we are going to bring her home.

This will not be an easy voyage. In fact, it will be tough. The greatest rewards in life, however, are earned. We hope you, too, will be inspired to take off on your own voyage of discovery.
