Four Days of anchorages and beaches

Our travel friends have gone home to Wisconsin and Georgia. We notice Sea C Rider (another Mainship) at the other marina at Venice FL so we Uber'd over to visit with Mike and Pam. It turned out that our travel plans matched going to Ft Myers over the next 5 days to the same marina.
Our first stop was Stump Pass/Beach State Park near Grove City. It was a wonderful anchorage and access to a great beach. We collect a load a shells and had some wonderfull sunsets.
Our second stop was Pelican Bay, Cayo Costa State Park. We stay a this beautiful bay and hike alot on the island and on the beaches, lots more shells. We also dinghy'd a couple miles south to Cabbage Key and had cheese burgers at the restaurant that inspired the song "Cheese Burger in Paradise" by Jimmy Buffet. There was a wonder hike on that island, too. We met another looper couple and had docktales on their boat.
One Sunday we traveled to Captiva and are anchored in the Roosevelt Channel and ate at the Green Flash restraurant.
We  have seen over 50 dolphins on this leg of the trip. Many have ridden Maggie Jo's wake for 15 minutes or longer.
