Palm Island Marina

We're staying in Palm Island Marina near Cape Haze.  There are two basins here, and we're in the NOrth basin.  The harbormaster told us that most long term boats stay in the South basin, but since the bath house is next to the NOrth basin, we asked to stay in it.  They say that they use the North basin for boat clubs, and Marine Max. 

Marine Max is one of the largest boat dealers in the country.  They have reserved on a long term basis, and paid for, 7 or 8 slips in the marina to display their boats for sale.  But due to the economy, Marine Max has closed their office at this location.  There were a few new Sea Rays here earlier, now all but one is gone.  So those slips stay empty.

As for boat clubs, there was a group from Cape Coral with about 10 boats that stopped here for 2 nights last weekend.  Other than them there's only been a few transients stay here.  I follow a website for Ranger Tugs, so I know they have some boats coming in next week.  (One from Maine is already here.)

 
We are bow in right in front of some condos.  We look out our front windows into their living room.  Which of course means they look right into our bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room.
We have a canvas cover for the front windows, but find it easier to put foam boards on the inside, held in place with a small compression curtain rod.  We take the center one out in the daytime so we can open the center window for ventilation.

The marina has a really nice pool and jacuzzi.

We are located just off the ICW, and quick access to my secret fishing spot.

And, yes, I CPR all the fish.
