SANiBel !  A lovely place, featuring rental bikes, expensive boats, and bemused European tourists.  At least half the island is a nature preserve, which entails efficient herding of humans in the remaining parts.  We tried to go ashore in the dinghy, but were shooed away.  Later were able to tie up at the elegant marina, in spite of being somewhat to the left of the dress code.

  1. Hi when facing disdain from the natives, ask yourself, what would Bugs Bunny do? He always had a great solution to life's vexing problems.
    You are almost in Naples, an area with pretty nice beaches. Love you, Elle

  2. You are collecting scallop shells along these many beaches? Looks like they are plentiful.

  4. Hello,

    I read various cruising blogs and lucked upon yours :-) I am curious about the comment you made "We tried to go ashore in the dinghy, but were shooed away.". Why would someone not want you to go ashore and who did they think they were?
