All: Check out Jerry's blogspot at celicapimp.blogspot.com to see how he has plotted their trip. Perhaps I got one of the locations wrong??
Jerry: How many miles left to Naples with the latest GPS reading?
100 like they think?
I heard them all laugh today!

The Krewe can see the coast; it is dark and starting to rain. They are heading toward the light at Doctor's Pass (sp?). The plan is to drop anchor tonight outside Naples. The sail today took longer than planned since they had to jog west/backtrack at Ft Meyers; they were cutting too close to land evidently and had to avoid an out-cropping. No coordinates given; it's dark and V sounded really tired.--Mary
Wed Oct 12th; The ZP and Krewe are tied up at the guest dock in Naples, Florida. All is well; they are recovering. Veronica will write soon.
