Here is a pic of Keewaydin Island. It is several miles long but we all hang out at the bottom tip in the area of the yellow pin. It takes local knowledge ( a lot of it! ) or a Sea Tow membership to be able to approach or leave from the Gulf side. Best approach is enter Big Marco Pass and take the Intra Coastal north or enter Gordon Pass and take the Intra Coastal south.

I'm not familiar with the ramp you mention, Dennis but need to check it out. Nor Tech has not mentioned it either. If it is further up the river and puts me into another idle zone it may not work. From the Yacht Club, I only have to idle thru the Miserable Mile.
Here is a link to our website. It has a down loadable application form. www.ftmyersoffshore.org Not too hard to get your money's worth and very satisfying with our charity component.
I will post some Google pics of Keewaydin so you know where it is. Do not approach from the Gulf side !! Best access is from the Intra Coastal.

It was a great day, Rick. 12 boats, smooth waters, great lunch at a great locale, beach and swim at Keewaydin. Doesn't get much better than that! Thanks all who came out and supported your club.
Also special thanks to Jay Forbes who won the 50/50 draw and donated his winnings back to the club. Very nice.
Looking forward to our Thanksgiving Saturday run to Fisherman's Village in Punta Gorda.
