Dinghy Ride on Estero Bay

We both have to say, it is extremely rewarding having coffee on board every morning, watching the sunrise, wild life and the morning salt air. After breakfast on board, we took “Noah Genda” across the bay to Ballard Oil for a fuel fill-up with very reasonable priced diesel fuel ($2.54 @ gal). Today warmed significantly so after a fuel run were determined to launch the dingy and cruise Estero Bay. We cruised through the Mantaza Pass mooring field area and continued southerly down to “Snook Bight Marina” for lunch at the beautiful Baypoint Bistro restaurant. This is where we had dinner with Banks and Humphreys. Enjoyed the view over looking the marina and Estero Bay. It doesn’t hurt either that the food is fantastic. What a gorgeous day, fun cruise and sights to see along the way. The marina is located adjacent to a Publix grocery store so after lunch Tom walked over to Publix and picked up a Key Lime pie to have after an on board dinner tonight. We side tripped into some canals with waterfront homes and of course many docks, boat lifts and nice homes.
This salt water cruising is pretty, however also high maintenance. After the dingy cruise and lifting the dingy back on top of the hardtop we had to rinse all of the salt off everything and then rinse off “Noah Genda” to get all of today’s salt off of it. Quit your whining!!!!
