This morning dawned clear and calm, a beautiful powerboat day! We departed the skinny entrance of Pelican Pass and made our way to the Gulf, for an offshore run.
The adjacent Boca Grande Pass is well marked by the Boca Grande Lighthouse, which we had toured two years ago. This pass is the entrance to Port Charlotte and Charlotte Harbor.
We headed directly for Marco Island. We had hoped to spend a couple nights at anchor along the way, but a water pump on the port engine started a slow drip. We called the marina on Marco, who said come right in for a fix! So, we had a couple unexpected mechanical lay days.Now that we are on Marco, we will leave the boat at a dock for about a month, to visit Michigan. Stay tuned for the further adventures of Monarch, resuming in mid-January.
