Captiva Island

1/18-1/20
    We departed Marina Jacks in Sarasota on Friday and traveled to South Seas Island Resort in Captiva Island.  We went for about 19 miles on the ICW.  I am always amazed to see all the huge homes on the ICW! I never get tired of looking at them.  We also saw lots of dolphins, bald eagles and ospreys.  We went out the inlet at Venice into the Gulf to continue our trip to Captiva.  The Seas were calm and smooth. We went a total of 61 miles and it was so pleasant.  Lots of sunshine and pretty weather!
     We arrived in time to enjoy the beautiful beach.  The resort is one of our favorite stops on the west coast!  We spent some time at the pool, too. There is pretty good running and walking here, around the golf course and down the road to the southern part of the island.
     It rained very hard early Sunday morning and it got very windy and chilly.  The waves are high today, seems that most of the boats here are staying through until tomorrow, which is Martin Luther King Day.  We will decide if we want to leave tomorrow, based on the weather report.

  1. I really appreciate you posting this blog. Dr. Hempel has meant a lot to me since I first moved here in 1990. Your experiences sound a lot like ours with our first travel trailer that we bought last Spring. By the way, my wife and I are also from Kentucky.
