Trip 2, Day 3
So day 3 was a nice short day. We got an early start and got underway. No cell phone signal and no boats in sight so we tried to get out of the Everglades as quick as possible. Our destination was Marco Island, which only took 8-9 hours to get to, with cell coverage coming back around 2pm. Sweet!
We threw anchor around 5pm just in- time for an approaching thunderstorm. Lucky for us we were off the ocean side and inside a pretty baller harbor. We got everything ready for the storm and let it pass. Closest I think we’ve ever come to lightning. Scary!
Afterward we dinked off the boat and went to a local Tiki restaurant/bar. I had probably the worst chicken wings ever, then we went looking for a swimming pool. The closest thing to a shower we’ve had!
We then went back to the boat for the night, which was much cooler from the rain. We both got a good nights rest and actually didn’t even need our fans! Very nice to not sweat while trying to sleep! Plus the harbor was calm and the boat barely moved. I am in love with that spot as an anchorage!
