Boating on Estero Bay
by BloggerInParadise on Feb.10, 2011, under Meanderings
It’s been awhile, but finally I got around to taking another meander. This time a friend and I went boating on Estero Bay. This is an area off the coast of Bonita Springs that is bordered by a number of our coastal islands. They are close together and form a bay with access to the Gulf through several “passes” – some of which you can’t use at low tide.
We started off at a pier near Barefoot Beach. The video below starts off and has a view of some of the boats and some of the houses on the waterway. Then, when we got going we saw a dolphin having lunch courtesy of some bait fish. We ended up at the entrance near New Pass and Dog Beach. Dog Beach is where you can take your dogs and let them run loose. It was a beautiful day – just under 80 degrees. Not bad for early February. A nice day spent relaxing. You can rent boats to do this if you don’t own or have access to one. Give it a try when you’re down here.
You may want to turn the sound down. Still learning about how to video with my Droid and there is a bit of wind noise.
