A short story. The DW and I wanted to do something special for our 20th anniversary, so we decided to rent a houseboat in the Ft Myers area and cruise Pine Island Sound, Captiva and Sanibel and the Caloosahatchee River. We were going in October and by the preceding March I had all the nautical charts, the route planned and reservations at marinas. For 6 months I studied the route, charts, Google earth, Florida cruising guides and online boating forums.
When the trip happened, the house boat broke down on the first and second day, so we got towed into a harbor and abandoned the trip. It felt like someone had died. I had invested so much getting that trip just right that an unforeseen problem just devastated me. I'll never be that rigid again.
Man I am sorry that happened to you. I hope that you return and discover all that this area has to offer.
