I ended up launching from Tow Boat U.S. , Pine Island. They are located at the end of Porta Bello Street. Use the kayak ramp and leave a few bucks in there mailbox for ramp usage. The personnel with Tow Boat U.S. are great people to deal with. You can leave your tow vehicle and boat trailer there overnight for a small fee, very reasonable. You will sail through a tight pass and be right on Charlotte Harbor.

It's about 9 miles to Cayo Costa State Park. That is where we camped all week. I beached my 21SE on the west side of the island the first night and was ask by park personnel to overnight it on the west side of the island at Pelican Bay (north end on bay) where there is a nice peninsula to beach your boat.
