Biking in Goodland

We stayed last night at the Calusa Yacht Club marina in Goodland Florida.  very nice place.  We got a ride to a restaurant and walked back to the marina, its pretty close.  This place like many others is made from mangrove swamps by digging out canals, using the dug materials to build up the land.  So nothing seems to be more than 4 foot above sea level.  Got up late and took a bike ride around the town.  meet some "loopers" who were hanging out here to wait for nicer weather.  A short ride down the ICW this afternoon to set us up for tomorrows passage.  We will go out in the Gulf to get to Ft Myers Beach.  Plan is to leave early before the water gets rough, this is a short (2 hour) jump.

George ready for biking.

Anchored among the mangrove islands just south of Naples Fl.  Just off the GICW.  We got our screens up before sundown and as I am doing the blog the little critters are lighting on the screen trying to get in, it makes me itch just thinking about it.  So a little OFF sprayed on the screen to make it less desireable to them.  We are not yet to the summer where the guide books talk about "intolerable Mosquitos"
