Sanibel to Goodland, FL
Monday, January 29. By noon, the wind had died down a bit, so we were finally able to take Jim and Martha out on the boat. We went about 3 miles offshore; we could see land, which gradually became less and less inhabited. The residual waves made Martha a bit queasy, but she was a trooper, hung on, and took lots of pictures of birds. We had wanted to make it all the way to the
Goodland was pretty quiet. Snowy egrets and pelicans were our neighbors along with several people who live aboard their boats. Jim saw a man with a briefcase, clearly dressed for work, leave his boat and walk down the pier to his car. That,s hard for me to imagine, but plenty of people live on some mighty fancy boats in this area.
