A friend of mine just moved to Cape Coral from Oregon. It's been a dream of his for a long time, to have a boat on a canal right behind his house. Of course, his dream doesn't include hurricanes.

Allow me to mention an awesome Soup discovery, and its easy, and goes well when on the boat.
Not sure if its in your area, but its a popular brand name: Healthy Choice.

Try it under the Fiesta Chicken style: made with all white meat, generous amount of vegetables & rice, and spiced just right. Our prep. usually includes a little more chili powder, diced onion, and occasionally more "brown" rice.

Sodium is only 20% in case youre watching that value. Fat is only 3% :!:

You wont be disappointed, and-( no, I own no stock in Healthy Choice :) )

Cape Coral

I usually Launch at the Cape Coral Yacht Club, if it was last Sun. you saw bare Poles it was I awaiting for new headstay and had ants in pants just to get out on the water even if I had to motor.
We do a lot of Cruseing with the WCTSS and have a march 3 day cruise the 16th at Cayo Costa. E-mail me if you want to go along.

PS, I bought the boat a Mo. ago from a guy who lives in the SE of Cape Coral who had it on a lift.

I bought a 6 qt pressure cooker and cooked 7 potatoes in 6 min. Time is after water started to boil and they were cooked perfectly with 1/2 cup of H20. Definitely going to be part of boat inventory.
