INTERSTATE 75 ROAD TRIP TO FORT MYERS BEACH, FLORIDA FROM LANCASTER,OHIO

FTMYERS1

FtMyers2

I haven’t been in a package store in years stopped drinking years ago. Have an allergy to alcohol which causes me to “break out” all over the country not remembering how I got there.

FtMyers3

Linda and I had driven about 600 miles before we stopped. We figured we were about half way there. In the morning before we left we dressed in shorts and short sleeved shirts (wanted to be ready for the warmer weather)

We saw three accidents on the way down and three on the way back some single car some multiple (all bad). Will do a future post on one of them (not the accident but the traffic jam). I have never seen people drive as they did.

The Afternoon Sail at 2:00 p.m. is generally a livelier, more exhilarating sail among the islands of Frenchman Bay, because of the stronger afternoon sea breezes. Relax, have a picnic or help us hoist the sails!

For a little history of THE SCHOONER MARGARET TODD just click.

The women raising the sails. That is my wife Linda (A VERY HOT WOMAN) on the left. She actually sprained her back doing this chore.

“The Margaret Todd carries nine sails on her four masts. The large sails are called, from front to back, the foresail, mainsail, mizzensail, and spankersail. (These sails are named after the mast which carries it). The five smaller sails are the jib topsail, inner and outer jibs, staysail and the spanker topsail.”
