We had an early 7:00 start today to motor-sail the 60 miles from Little Shark River to Marco Island on the Gulf of Mexico. The water here is the same green color that we find near Miami, we have lost the turquoise-blue of the Florida Keys. We pulled into the tricky entrance of Marco Island with very shallow water in the middle and a hurricane-destroyed island to starboard. We followed the markers and came into a beautiful channel surrounded by high end condos, townhouses and marinas. There were 4 of us sailboats anchored in a line and a trawler out in front. It was another peaceful night, but tonight the condo lights twinkled around us!
