The crossing was OK, but tense because of the thousands of crab traps you had to maneuver around. We pulled in to Marathon Yacht Club at approximately 3:00 p.m.  Instead of their regular Friday night cookout, they were having their annual Christmas dinner. So, we signed up!  Much to our surprise, we were seated at the Vice Commodore’s table for dinner.  The Commodore was unable to attend the event, so he was the host for the evening.  When he made his announcements, he introduced us and another couple, from the Huntington, New York Yacht Club, as visitors to the club.  Later we met a lady who grew up on Holmes Beach and we learned that the Rear Commodore and his wife were leaving here Friday morning headed north.  They plan to stop at the Bradenton Yacht Club to renew an acquaintance with Ken Nyhus the CEO/General Manager.  They knew him when he was the manager of the Pass-a-grille Yacht Club (which is now the St. Petersburg Yacht Club’s Beach Club.)  We are docked at the end of the first T (slip 6) with our nose pointed toward the gulf.  There is a terrific view from the pilot house where I work on the computer.  We’ve had a pretty good breeze blowing from the north since we got here.  Immediately adjacent to the yacht club is a public boat ramp which has been very busy and is a continual source of entertainment watching the comings and goings.  On Saturday, we took the dingy out along the nearby coastline.  The yacht club is very close to the old Faro Blanco.  We could see that the docks remain twisted and broken. The “lighthouse” building is still standing, but the two-story building near the pool which contained the restaurant on the top level and the laundry on the bottom level is gone.  The manager here told us that a developer is planning to build condos on the site.  Tuesday found Rick plotting our next course on the GPS while I did the laundry.  The club has a coin operated washer and dryer.  They charge $1.75 each.  Rick is also becoming familiar with a program called OpenCPN.  This was recommended to us by the designer of the Rocna anchor we bought at the Ft. Lauderdale boat show.  On Wednesday, we rode our bikes a couple of blocks to the Keys Fisheries for lunch. We attended the club’s Christmas cocktail party that evening where we met the Campbell’s (who are good friends of Joyce and Harry Barrett from our club.)  It never ceases to amaze us what a small world it is.

We arrived early Sunday afternoon, 12/11/11.  Rick rode his bicycle to the nearby Publix Shopping Center to visit the ATM and pick up a few groceries while I did the laundry.  Marco Island Yacht Club has two washers and dryers available for transients. The club charges $2 a load for washing and drying, but they will add it to your bill.

On Monday, the diver came to inspect the props and shafts.  The shafts were OK, but he took both of the props off to straighten them up a bit. While he is working on them, he will also look for a spare pair for us to take along with us.

On Wednesday, the props were returned and Rick faxed some papers regarding our change in health insurance from the dock master’s office.  We walked to the Rose Marina and had a hot dog at Jack’s Bar and Snack Shack.  When we were here several years ago with the BYC Power Fleet, a number of us ladies went to a unique shop recommended by
Jackie Woolf. After shopping, we waited at Jack’s to be picked up by the taxi.  Some of those ladies may remember the bar.

There is a mobile fueling company in the area.  We are told that their prices average about 50 cents a gallon less than the surrounding marinas, so Rick made arrangements for them to come and fuel the boat at 8:00 am tomorrow.  We moved the boat to the E Dock, just in front of the dock master’s office because they prefer that fueling be done
here.  Thursday night we went to the Snook Inn for dinner.

Departed at 8:40 a.m. on 12/16.

We left the yacht club and went over to the Naples City Dock to get some gasoline for the dingy and water for the boat.  We then started south on the river as if to go out into the gulf.  On this part of the river you see one estate after the other – all lovely and very large.  A cold front came through the area over night and there are small craft advisories out for the Gulf in this area.  So, instead of turning in the river to head out, we chose to cruise the inland waterway from Naples to Marco Island.  It is hard to imagine how with one turn, you leave a cosmopolitan area and enter into virtual wilderness.  We cruised slowly along the inland passage because much of it was shallow.  I don’t think there is enough published information about this passage.  It would probably have been better to wait for high tide.   We first kicked up mud when we entered the passage navigating to the west of the “G” marker.  Just to the south of Red 40 there are a number of docks on the west side with for “for sale” signs posted on them.  You can see the tall buildings on Marco Island after making this bend.  We turned southwest at marker green 34 and traveled through this inlet until we could see Hurricane Pass.  We then turned around and headed back toward a little bump out on the west island and tried to get behind it to anchor outside of the middle of the waterway.  Unfortunately, we found the area that was less than 3 feet deep and ended up calling Tow Boat US to help us off of the shoal.  In all the years that we have been members of Tow Boat US, this is the first time we have had to call for their services.  We called around 12:15 p.m. and the gentleman was here around 12:40.  He pulled us off of the shoal with no problem and told Rick that the anchorage was up the waterway just beyond the no wake signs where we had turned around.  He pulled us up there and told Rick where to drop the anchor.  Many thanks to our tow boat rescuer.  We are in a beautiful spot between the northern tips of two islands with plenty of white sand beaches to explore.  As I sit in the pilot house writing this, I am watching several bottle noise dolphin searching for food.  We hope to stay here for a couple of nights.

We got through the night well enough.  Rick says it is too quiet to sleep!  But, we managed.  This morning, after breakfast, we sat on the top deck reading and enjoying our surroundings.  I told Rick I was going to title this part of the website as Paddles and Pelicans because when we looked out on the water, both were present.  As Rick was getting the dingy ready for today’s exploring, a manatee came right up to the swim platform and stayed for several minutes.  We’ve also noted lots of birds, but I’m afraid I do not have the knowledge to identify them.  We took the dingy to the island on the west.  Signs on the island said it was the Key Island Rookery – part of a research area.

We took the marked path across to the gulf side where there were many small, strong waves crashing.  Sanibel Island is known for its shells, but I believe this little island has it beat.  We followed our new tradition of picking up one shell from the beach to add to our tropical flower arrangement.  At one point this morning I counted about 20 boats including kayaks, canoes and power boats all here either enjoying fishing or beaching or shelling – or like us, just enjoying life.  Saturday found more boats on the island along the sugar sand white beach.  Many of these boaters had children with them – all enjoying the beach in their own way.  A few brought tents and set up for an overnight adventure on the southern tip of the island.  Saturday evening, we received a surprise phone call from Ken Sosville who was with many of our BYC Power Fleet friends.  They had just finished watching the annual “Lighted Boat Christmas Parade”. It was great to hear from them. Sunday, we awoke to overcast skies. Rick called Marco Island Yacht Club and they have room for us overnight.  As we left the anchorage, we managed to find the bottom again!  In less than half an hour we were off again with the rising tide.  Rick will make arrangements for a diver to check the props when we get to Marco.

Departed anchorage on 12/11/11.

We arrived at the Naples Sailing and Yacht Club on Thursday, December 1.  Thanks to Marilyn, the dock master, for lending us her car on Friday.  We were able to go to several stores to pick up the items Rick needed to start to install the water maker.

On Saturday, we walked back to a couple of the stores we went to the day before to buy more supplies.  The weather is beautiful, in the 70’s with a nice breeze and plenty of sunshine.  It was a nice, long walk.

Rick continues to work on the water maker installation but still does not have everything he needs. He will contact the supplier on Monday.

You can use the washing machine at NSYC after noon, so I will plan to do our wash again before we leave here.  Rick thinks we should stay here until Thursday morning.  We will keep an eye on the approaching cold front and let that be the determining factor – but we have to leave no later than Friday morning.

On Tuesday, we walked to the historic district to watch the Naples Christmas parade.  For such an elegant area of Florida, they had a “down-home” parade which included marchers from half a dozen high school bands, decorated vehicles for local politicians  and businesses, and several displays for local wildlife preservation or rescue organizations, including the Naples Zoo, along with at least one fire engine or emergency rescue vehicle from each of the surrounding communities.   Four or five of the floats were boats on trailers being pulled along.  A number of churches (including the Salvation Army with band) were represented, most with a loat of the manger scene.  It was refreshing to see the community embrace such diversity in its parade.  And, it was surprising (in what is assumed to be a “mature community”) to see more scouts than one could imagine.  Santa, Mrs. Santa and an elf rode in a sleigh at the end of the parade and a good time was had by all.

On Wednesday, we took a trolley tour of the area.  Naples is in Collier County, Florida.  We learned that Barron Collier, Barron was his name – not a title, made his first million in the Chicago area by introducing advertising placards into the public transportation vehicles.  Then he expanded his operation to New York City and made more millions.  When he moved to the Naples area, he bought millions of acres of land at an average price of 25 cents an acre!  His grandson is a developer in the Naples area today. Collier was responsible for most of the roads in the area and to make it even easier for people to visit Naples, he started what was more recently known as the Trailways Bus line.  There are a number of celebrities who currently own homes in the Naples area, but I never knew that Charles Lindburgh also once owned a home in the area.  We had a nice lunch at the Dock, an open-air waterfront restaurant, next to Naples City Dock, and then headed back to the yacht club.
