| Along mangrove islands |
It's July in Southwest Florida - very hot - during COVID time and we decided we needed to escape on our boat, Lickity Split, for a few days. Off we went to a beautiful place, South Seas Resort, on Captiva Island. It is a lovely marina with 3 close-by pools overlooking the water. We rose up early and began our journey by 8 a.m. Our new boat cruises nicely at 25 mph. By 10:30 a.m. we arrived in time to plug into the air conditioning and take a nap. After lunch we headed over to the pool. We were surprised to find so many extended families (parents, kids and grandparents) there! We found lounge chairs a few feet away and tried to stay away from the fray in the pool. It was nice, but did make me (Joanne) a bit uncomfortable because we are trying to stay as socially distant as we can. After a few hours, we left and had a lovely dinner - just a trolley ride away - at Doc Fords.

Next day, we got out early again and rode along picturesque mangrove islands to our next destination, St Charles Yacht Club. We had a nice swim in the pool (no crowds!) and a lovely dinner on their screened porch overlooking the marina. All in all, it was a great respite. We are so glad we purchased Lickity Split last December because our boat is a great way to escape Covid and enjoy our surroundings.
