Like so often happens in boating, what you set out to do takes a left turn. By staying at our new favorite anchorage longer than planned we ran smack dab into the threat of some approaching heavy weather. With discretion being the better part of valor we decided to abort our visit to Goodland and head back up to the Ft. Myers area. Once again we ducked into the mooring field at the beach to sit out the rain and top off the fuel tanks before returning to Legacy.
Rain. Usually it interferes with boating but this time it was welcomed. Tourist was covered with salt from the runs offshore and the heavy rain that came on Sunday washed it away. Less wear on the cleanup crew (Me!)
When we left the Beach on Monday we saw a couple military inflatables at the upper end of Ft. Myers Beach. It appeared that they were dragging a net with floats on it between them. Not so. What at first looked like floats turned out to be men in combat gear complete with helmets in the water wading to shore. The spring breakers are gone so I can't imagine what they'd be assaulting the beach for now.
Our trip back up the Caloosahatchie was uneventful since most of the snowbirds (kamikazee's) have returned home.
