January 31, 2012-Naples



Today was like Christmas morning. I woke up at 5am just waiting to be able to get going to see the kids. We wanted to wait until the sun came up so we had a better view of crab pots, but that meant we had to wait until 7am. It was a beautiful morning, the winds were out of the East at 18-20 knots, and we motor-sailed the last 10 miles of our trip up to Naples at 7.5 knots. We entered Gordon Pass at 9am (the inlet into Naples) and were escorted by two dolphins that swam off of our stern for a good half a mile into Naples docks.
It really couldn't have been a better morning....Dolphins and our kids!

  1. What's the city on the horizon? Naples? It looks like Manhatten, given the skyline!
    Sounds like you had a great trip, despite no kids. See you on the 19th.

  2. Naples....there are quite a few high rise hotels on the beach. Although, driving around Naples sometimes feels like Manhatten!!
