At the dock in Everglades City

Went inside and outside from Marco island to Everglade City.  Inside was great but we got beat up on our hour transit across an bay that was exposed to westerly winds. We are on the dock at a very nice motor home resort/marina.  Its expensive but we made the timing work for us.  We arrived about 2pm, played in their pool, used their towels, washed our clothes (no quarters).  Tomorrow use their pump out and buy gas and leave late.  In Panama city we were early for their season, here we are at the end of their season and most of their guest have already left to go back north.
Last night we met up with Ann and John Barton behind Marco island and shared a great dinner.  John is writing a blog also, follow his trip at http://www.sailblogs.com/member/Jascat/
This is John welcoming us to anchor.
More birds on a shell island.

For lunch we nosed the boat up on a oyster bar alongside a river.  The river/tides makes a mound of oyster shells and the mangrove trees take root and make it land.
