Naples, FL, Cruise Overview
26 March 2017
The target departure date for the cruise to Naples, FL, is tentatively scheduled for Monday, April 3rd. After a 3 day leg and a lay date, we plan the overnight Gulf crossing from Apalachicola to Clearwater, FL, where we layover a couple of days to get together with Roger's brother and his wife to visit the Chihuly Glass Exhibit in St Petersburg. We'll then proceed to Bradenton then to Venice before laying over at 'Tween Waters on Captiva Island for four nights and three days. We've moored there previously and love the convenient access to the beach, the pool, the restaurant....and the showers! Next on our cruise itinerary is a stop at Fort Myers-a new venue for us but promises to provide lots of things to do and see. Following another 3 day, four night stay we'll cruise to Naples for a stay of similar duration after which we'll return to AL more or less reversing our course but limiting our stays to overnights. As with 'Tween Waters, we've moored in Naples several times previously and love the access to the downtown area and nearby restaurants.
