What We See Along The Way

On the west Coast of Florida we see a lot of skinny water in the Intercoastal Waterway (ICW) which is where we general travel.  As opposed to going "outside" into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.  Traveling the ICW mean bridges, lots and lots of bridges. 

The signs (and also our charts) tell us how much clearance we have

It also means houses and condos of all shapes and sizes.  I sometimes think that it is ironic for a homeless couple to critique houses - but that doesn't stop me from doing so.

Beautiful New Homes

Then There are the Mansions

Beautiful Condo Buildings

 
 We see lots of "skinny" water, and some tow boats pulling stuck boats off of the shoals in the shallows

In general we see lots and lots of sunsets
