Ten Thousand Islands, Florida Everglades, is a remarkable place to coastal cruise. Angel and I picked an awkward time of year to explore and learn more. Summer season is rife with bugs and pop-up thunderstorms, but this is when a working stiff like me was able to afford the move.
Will be home based out of a marina, closest to the islands. I'm one if the smallest cruising type boats there and outnumbered by power vessels (very nice looking ones!)
The first day at the marina, saw an alligator casually swimming past the ship's store and manatee eating floating grass in the empty slip next to me. This is gonna be interesting...
