Punta Gorda RV Park

Leaving the camper in Ruskin, we spent the weekend with the family. John and Dan wanted to go for a sail on Monday and I wanted to go along. It takes about 30 minutes to motor the sailboat from Dan’s dock through Alligator Creek to Charlotte Harbor. There were some interesting sights along the way.

Once the sails went up and the motor turned off the tranquility of being powered by the wind was transcendent!

 

Not a lot of wind, but plenty for a nice ride. Luckily, I was chauffeured by two capable old sailors!
