Headed to the west coast of Florida from Daytona Beach in October and looking for some insight to the area.
A mid-week trip, I'll just need one overnight mast up storage and ideas of where to launch.
Any info will be greatly appreciated, cheers

malinos
thanks for the response and my apologies for adding an extra vowel to Myers -can't figure out how to correct that after the fact.
I've got a couple of free nights at a hotel in Fort Myers and was hoping to be able to sail out to Sanibel Island so my girl friend can go look for shells while I'm off flying a hull.
I've got 4X4 drive and would prefer to leave the mast up but won't mind stepping it twice for the two days of sailing anticipated.
I'm just looking for a good launch location with good proximity to be able to sail out to Sanibel Island.
guess I'll just have to do some searching with goggle earth so I don't spend the day driving around for a spot to launch from without any troubles from "the man"
