Made the trip from the Little Shark River to Marco Island out in the Gulf of Mexico. We did verify that this boat can run over a crab/lobster pot and wrap the rope around the prop shaft! Pam noticed a sudden decrease in speed following a 'thump' and the remnants of three joined pots came out behind us. Had to stop the boat and John put on flippers and mask for a quick swim. Diving beneath the boat revealed what was left of the rope wrapped around the shaft. Fortunately, it 'unwound' easily. It's always something!

Marco Island is the beginning of the high rises on the west coast. We anchored in Marco harbor for the night to another beautiful sunset, albeit behind the condos.
