After a painful evening watching the Packers, we decided to head back "home". On the way out of Fort Myers Beach we passed this Corps of Engineers dredge working on the entrance. To cut about 10 miles of our trip, I decided to head north on the east side of Pine Island. The Channel south of the bridge was quite shallow. We "touched" bottom once after being forced to the right by an approaching boat. Fortunately there was no prop damage other than removal of a bit of paint. Once we passed under the bridge we noticed larger boats. The Channel on the north side of the bridge was much deeper all the way to Charlotte Harbor. Been there done that. we don't need to do that route again...
When we reached Punta Gorda we passed a sister ship of ours drifting about in the bay.
