South Seas Marina Resort, Captiva Island, Florida

We had a good day to travel today after the winds of the past couple of days. Cool but sunny. Travelled along the intra coastal waterway south from Venice through Lemon Bay, Gasparilla Sound and Charlotte Harbor, arriving at Captiva Island. We spent most of the day travelling with dolpins jumping around the boat, they are so beautiful.  The South Seas Resort seems to cover most of this island, they have the marina plus condos, villas, houses, restaurants, stores, pools, a spa - a beautiful place. We rode the free trolley to the other end of the island and back just to see what was there. It is a very pretty place. Past the resort at the other end of the island there is a small village with community centre, library, firehall, and church, along with a general store. Had dinner on the boat, we will leave in the am to go on to Fort Myers.



This is the waterboard at one of the many bridges we have gone under; it shows how much height there is for us under the bridge. This one was great for us, we are about 17'6".

The pelicans are just hanging around, looks like they are waiting for the fisherman to catch something.
