Gentlemen

thank you for the response

follow up question for all or any of you.

if you launch from the causeway to Sanibel Island where do you park your vehicle & trailer?

I spoke with Matt at the jet ski rental -ft myers beach- and he'll accommodate me launching at his facility. Utilizing their tractor to move the boat on the trailer to and from the beach for a fee $$
I'm cheap but for the charge, it just might save my back -as it's still hurting from the last time I sailed.

I'm use to being able to step the mast on the trailer and back into the water with my suv & 4X4 drive if needed.
It's not since moving to DAB that I've had to utilize beach wheels as much as I have over 33+ years with a cat.

another question

how far is it from the jet ski location over to Sanibel Island?

cheers, Nick Danger
