Rod and Gun Club Marina
Everglades City, Florida


Museum

Today was a good day to stay in port when considering the weather! All morning the wind blew with overcast skies and an occasional rain drop or two! As the day progressed the weather improved.


City Hall

We walked to the local Museum of the Everglades about a block away from the boat. The museum was well done and very informative. Until the mid 1900’s this was a rough place to live. There was lots of moonshine stills and smuggling of drugs in the area until the Feds moved in and brought law and order to the area. The off season population is about 350 with the in season population soaring to 5000.

Happy hour was on our boat tonight which is always fun. We had dinner on board tonight and will probably watch a video before turning in.

Monday is looking like the first day we can get out of here. We will probably go to Little Shark River and anchor - then move on to Marathon in the Keys on Tuesday!

Video is from airboat ride yesterday - enjoy!
