Long story short… We left the Ft. Myers Yacht Basin yesterday and motored up about 5 miles to a friend’s place on a canal. We aren’t being charged to dock and can continue to work on the boat. Hopefully we will only need to stay a few weeks. The water in the canal is so clear. We may even be able to assess the state of our rudder without having to haul out in Port Charlotte. Thanks, Arnold, Lisa & Corey!
