We are just finishing up our first winter in SWFL. We are on a canal in Port Charlotte with pretty quick access to the Myakka River/Charlotte Harbor. I trailered our 17' Whaler down and will be towing it back up again in a few weeks. Been exploring the Intracoastal in the Englewood/Placida area and it's been a blast. Had a few dolphins swimming with us for a while one day. One of the first weekends we took it out i think we did 75-80 miles. Even took it into the Gulf around Boca Grande. It's crazy how shallow is it down here, 5' to 6' is normal, but the bottom is mostly sand. A lot more forgiving than Winni, for sure.
