These are the stories of a “Life Nautoncall”
26 Jan Days 135 and 136 The Birthweekend
Our productive week in Fort Myers ended with Janet's Birthday. We were planning on leaving on Sunday so Saturday was spent cleaning, provisioning and doing laundry. Not a very fun Birthday. To make up for it we went out with our Marina friends Anne and Randy...
24 Jan Days 127 thru 134 Back in Fort Myers
Our mechanic made it back to town from working on someone else's boat, so it was time to make our way back to Fort Myers Yacht Basin again. This time I was hoping to get into the South Basin where all the cool boats go. But...
16 Jan Days 124 to 126 Cayo Costa
Pelican Bay looked like a nice anchorage when we passed by in December but we were on a mission and just stopped at Cabbage Key for a Cheeseburger in Paradise then onto Cape Coral. We have heard through the cruiser's grapevine that it is a must...
13 Jan Days 121 thru 123 Sarasota
It was time to move on before we wore out our welcome at Anna Maria Island. (If we hadn’t already) We could not meet with our mechanic for about a week, so we were in no hurry and had no real schedule like we did the...

17 Dec Day 94 – Home again, Home again, Jiggity Jig
When we left on this journey we were asked, "How can you stay away for that long?" My answer was, " It's kind of like going away to College, we will leave in September and fly home for the Christmas Holidays, then fly back and...
15 Dec Days 91-93 On the move again
Our parts finally came in and we could put Nautoncall’s heart back together. She started right up and had oil pressure almost instantly, all good signs. Unfortunately during the test run the transmission was still leaking. Not as bad, but any leak is too big. ...
11 Dec Days 80 thru 90 – Fort Myers Week 2+
Our second week in Fort Myers was a mix of Waiting on boat parts, completing some projects on the boat and experiencing “Retired life in Florida” We took the Free Trolly to see the Butterfly Estates. They were a little lacking live butterflies currently but it...
