    I'm about 3 miles N of you, as a crow flies. The storm was a lot worse than many realize and the back side was stronger than the front.The surge was 15' at your location.https://youtu.be/al8yTiCVfro

    Re: South Seas Marina open

    We were liveboards at Legacy Harbor here in Fort Myers. Legacy, Municipal, and Edison-Ford marinas are all just gone. Like our boat. Legacy is up for sale as-is, Edison-Ford just awarded contract for rebuild, and City of Fort Myers sold out and leased the municipal marina to one of the big marina companies. Consensus there is say goodbye to Municipal, for anything other than transients and large yachts, along with fuel services. The city of Fort Myers is still rebuilding, just like Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva, Pine Island etc. I'm glad y'all are able to get into South Seas, and that they reopened.

    South Seas was such a beautiful place with so much to offer. It seems that it was recovered from being hit by Charley back in 2004, and then this. Hope it comes back to life as it was soon

    Here now. Very peaceful. I'll give a full report Monday when we are home. Juice, worth the trip. You are so close.

    Re: South Seas Marina open

    So I had time to talk to the guys working here. They are hoping to be up and running with a food truck and bar truck to start in a month or so. Shooting for October for a good portion back online. Repair of hotels is a nightmare for them due to permit issues, supplies, and labor. Many contractors not willing to go way out on the island when there is so much local work in Cape Coral and Ft Myers. Folks at South Seas get that but not butt hurt. It is what it is and they seem optimistic.

    We used our electric scooters to get to town. Being Thursday the restaurant we wanted to have lunch at was closed. So we went further down to Tween waters and ate at the pool bar. So while they are fixing it up if you plan to stop here be prepared with your boat stocked, enjoy the beach, and figure a way into town if needed. At only $2 a foot its a bargain. Tree tops have grown back and they are working on everything so each day is better.

    Anyone interested in a west coast FL roundup at South Seas later this year? Early November? Things should be much better then. Great dock configuration for a group meet. They say that are going to have specials to bring boats into the marina again.
