Oct 5 La Belle, FL to Boca Grande, FL (Boca Grande Marina)

Today was exciting….rain one minute, sun the next.  Harry went to driving from the fly bridge to driving on the aft deck about 4-5 times.  We went through our last lock (Franklin) and crossed our last big body of waters…..and finally entered Boca Grande.  Just as the dock hands arrived, the heavens opened and downpour ensued…kinda fun actually….maybe not for the dockhands.  Repairs to the marina look complete but we were the only ones here!  a few were having lunch at the restaurant but we were the only boat in a slip.  We quickly learned the island had pretty much shut down…the Gaspirilla Inn was closed, as was the Pink Elephant and every other restaurant except the marina restaurant…you don’t think they were pulling our leg, do you?

had a quick lunch and then will come back and have dinner….and then tomorrow LBK!!  a 49 mile cruise…..
