Fort Myers, FL

Left Captiva Island South Seas Plantation Marina at 8 am in calm winds but cloudy skies.  Our destination today was only 30+ miles to Fort Myers for a day of maintenance before we embarked on the next leg across the Okeechobee Waterway.  We docked at a very nice marina, Legacy Harbor and rented a car.  Randy went to West Marine and bought supplies to change the oil in Loon.  It was the first time changing it and he was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was after getting all the necessary supplies.  Also installed new hatch covers on aft deck and side decks.  Pat walked to downtown Fort Myers and spent the afternoon shopping and sightseeing.  By noon the weather had cleared and it was hot and sunny for the rest of the day which was a nice change.  That evening we walked downtown and ate dinner at Henry Ford Cafe.  Fort Myers was the winter home of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison and their estates are open for tours.
