Horseshoe Bay, Sanibel I, FL

Sunrise over 'Auger Hole', Sanibel Island

We are currently anchored in Horseshoe Bay on Sanibel Island; last night was our 17th night at anchor on this leg. Sunday we will heading south to Marco Island where we will be docking to reprovision fresh foods (we are almost all out) and do laundry.

Horseshoe Bay is a located in Ding Darling Widlife Preserve and there are always a lot of neat birds.  The name of the bay and the cut to the adjacent Tarpon Bay (Auger Hole) comes from a novel by a local author named Randy Wayne White.  He writes adventure novels in which the main character lives in a stilt house not far from here.

And a leftover picture from Cayo Costa:
S/V Florida Buoy at anchor in the fog in Pelican Bay, Cayo Costa I. 

Florida Buoy is a sister-ship to Barefoot;  same model built at around the same time.
