Naples, Florida, or 27 miles by water from home

We are anchored in the middle of a multi-million dollar neighborhood in Naples, but nobody is home!  All the mansions around us are closed up for the season, so we are all alone.  Oh well.

The last two days went fine, just really hot and boring.  The wind was from behind us, which means we were going the same speed as the breeze, which means on the boat itself, it was still air and really warm.  Luckily, we had the generator running, which powered the air conditioner for the fortunate few inside the cabin (i.e. Rebecca, Reece and Jeannette)...  We improvised some shade with bed sheets (lol) and towels - total redneck, but it worked well.  The big event at the end of the journey last night was a huge thunderstorm!  Sailing around with a giant lightening rod is kinda scary, but God chose not to zap us this time!

Time to wind down and get showers - we don't want to scare Kaysha too bad when she picks us up tomorrow!
