Fishing
A group of friends sailed (3) 20' Hobie Cats from Siesta Key, FL to Cayo Costa - 50 miles south. We also motored a 20' center console and a 24' pontoon boat. It took us 8 hrs each way.. These photos are of the sail down, the next day on the island and enjoying the water. My camera batteries died after that - but we had a great time. I tried to sync the photos with the music - with a surprise ending.

Pejuan Shores Cayo Costa Florida. Three bedroom, three and a half bath Island home. "Heart & Soul" best describes this lovely "water-to-water" home. From the shores of the Bay to the sitting area on the Cove and water-views from every direction in the living area it doesn't get any better for a water lover. The charm and warmth of this wonderful getaway from the "real world" will embrace you the moment you step from the dock to this enchanted little world. For those who want to trade the conveniences and noise of the mainland for the peace and independent lifestyle of the out-islands this home will be perfect. There is enough space to share but not too much for which to care.
Video from part of a kayak trip I took. My first ever video of anything. This video did not do justice to the storms I paddled through later, which I neglected to film. There is always next time. Enjoy.

Pristine habitat at Cayo Costa, Florida, on eastern Gulf of Mexico, will hopefully be unscathed by discharge of crude oil, actively flowing into the Gulf of Mexico. Life found it's way to Cayo Costa, will the petroleum find it's way here, too? Ponder this: day -to-day 4000 oil platforms in Gulf . Financial impact of one problematic rig is? Funnel "containment" devices harvest oil, do not plug blowout. Ans: Shut down all BP rigs until blowout is plugged, so complete focus is on the problem rig with no distraction from the other platforms; then resume business as usual, (employees get paid time off), subsequent to pipeline/rig inspections performed by outside agencies for physical and legal integrity. Dispersants? Dillution is not the solution to pollution. Dispersants are POISONOUS, more toxic than crude oil , and further compound additional damage to the ocean and it's inhabitants. Oil floats on water, where it can be collected, dispersed oil sinks and cannot be collected!! Let's take care of our earth, cherish our home...treat the Earth with respect.

We spent three gorgeous days with our West Coast Trailer Sailing Squadron at Cayo Costa National Park. We launched from Placida (Eldred's Marina) and headed south for 10 miles. Winds were from the NW at about 13-15 knots. We were sailing our Sanibel 18 Luna with full main and three turns in the main just to make it easy. Our speed was at all times between 4.5. and 5.5 knots despite the highest reading was 5.9 knots.
Club sail to Cayo Costa State Park. Sunday morning with 12kts of wind out of the north, dead on our nose to get back to the boat ramp 10 miles away. We spend the night in the hurricane hole and motored by the club around 8am.

The Tampa Adventure Group (TAG) set of on a tropical journey for 3 days to the beautiful Island of Cayo Costa located on the South West coast of Florida. Day one includes the ferry ride to the island, setting up camp, and getting to know the area. Day 2 took us to the beach for swimming, snorkeling, and fishing. TAG members caught Snook, Flounder, Tuna, Jack, and other fish. Day 2 also included a trip to the famous Cabbage Key, where the song Jimmy Buffet visited. Day 3 was relaxing before the packing and heading back home to civilization. Overall Cayo Costa is a must see for anyone visiting South West Florida!

Cayo Costa State Park is located on La Costa Island near the Gulf of Mexico in Florida. The island is what is known as a barrier island, in that it (along with other islands nearby) protects Charlotte Harbor and the Pine Island Sound from storms.

I recorded a video of my dad and I snorkeling in Cayo Costa with an underwater case and a flip video camera. There are times when the camera goes all shakey and all you can see is water (That's when I'm going up for air).
Join VISIT FLORIDA Beaches Expert, David McRee as he shows you one of his favorite day trips to a barrier island that can only be reached by boat. Cayo Costa Island State Park, off of Florida's Gulf Coast near Fort Myers, features a secluded nature beach that's perfect for relaxation or even a romantic getaway. We'll also explore Cabbage Key, another nearby nature beach. Nature beaches offer a more serene alternative to the other, more lively beaches Florida is known for.

We had two turns on the main and one of the mizzen with winds off the beam. We were sailing at 6kts plus with an occasional 8+ when surfing.
