NAPLES TO SHARK RIVER

Feb 15- We have a long trip today so were up and out of Naples marina at 6:30 am. We are travelling to a place called Shark River to anchor for the night. The wind is starting to get up but is not too bad as yet. As we passed the last land we will see for awhile the wind is up and the waves are getting larger and it now an uncomfortable ride. I have gone down and put down everything that will break or fall off in a secure place. We traveled like this for about 6 hours. It was a toss up as to who was more stressed, me or Koby. We entered into Shark River and finally got some relief from the waves and wind. We immediately tried to find a place to take Koby to shore but there was no where, it is all mangroves with no solid land, so poor Koby held on. I placed his puppy pads down but he would not use them. By the morning he was whinning so I knew he was in distress. He ended up peeing on the side deck which was fine as long as he was OK.
