Eagle's Wings Underway


April 15 - We were finally ready to leave on Tuesday after Richard's minor surgery followed a check-out appt Monday afternoon. We put our cars in storage and my cousin Constance drove down to Burnt Store after treating us to a chicken dinner at the Elks.



We waited a day for a cold front that brought lots of rain, thunder, lightning and even hail to pass before departing on Wednesday morning.


We went down the ICW and picked up a mooring ball at Fort Myers Beach where we spied Charlie's Angel of the Punta Gorda Sailing Club. We had dinner with about six couples from the club at the Matanzas Inn.



On the way down, Joanne got a call from her doctor recommending another test. So we plan to hold up at Marco Island while we rent a car to drive bck to Punta Gorda before proceeding further down the coast.
