Leaving Fort Myers!

We left the marina we had our boat at in Ft. Myers Florida today at 6:05pm. Now it is 6:29... I had to stop writing because Mom asked me to hand Dad his pieces of bread while he was driving the boat. We are on our way to the Bahamas via the Keys. The Keys are a whole bunch of Islands right on the southern tip of Florida. Just a little while ago we stopped at what I'm Pretty sure was a hotel. We had forgotten to give the key for Mommy's car to my Grandparents. Just before that we went through part of the miserable mile. It is a very narrow channel. My brother and I (Look, me used good grammar) watched for channel markers. I was on the starboard side (right) and Ben was on the port side (left). We have already had two close calls today. First we went by a big catamaran and we didn't know it was there until we were right beside it. If we had been just a little off course we could have driven right into it. Second we almost hit a green marker because we didn't see it. When we wake up tomorrow morning I think we will be getting close to the Keys. It's 10:00pm(8:00pm in Airdrie Alberta Canada)
