Well, it wasn't O-dark-thirty...but we did manage to pull out of Ft Myers and make it to lovely LaBelle, Fl. The marina closed at 1...told us to just pull up to the fuel dock, tie up and put money in the box by the front door....interesting place. We connected with a small group of young ones from Sweden. Seems they came here in January, bought this boat and are working to repair it so they can sail around the world. In fact, last night as we sat on the aft deck talking with Rick and Pam, a kid came up to ask about the code for the marina parking lot. Mumbled something about needing to leave a car as they were bringing up a boat from LaBelle on Saturday...it just seemed so weird...Pam thought maybe he was drunk...I thought he just didn't speak English...yep, turns out it was one of these guys...we'll take a photo of their boat before we leave tomorrow. Kids...what'll they think of next...We also saw our first, second and third orange orchards...must be about time to harvest. And a couple of HUGE turtles...couldn't resist...
