Option- lunch/water etc. and other comforts. We typically bring a pop up tent, chairs, cooler, tables.
Launch from Bokeelia (Bocilla Island Seaport) hopefully in the water by 10:00 A.M.
Leaving the boat ramp you go a straight shot out to Jug Creek, Baack Bay isnt really for goofing around due to the shallows. Stay within the markers and carefulu around 2 blind turns. Once out to the ICW, southbound for about a mile the westward staying semi close to the islands. There are shallows here as well, pay attention or jusy follow me. Once past the islands, its quite safe.
We should be back to 2:30 or 3:00 to avoid most of the T Storms.
