We went on a boat trip to Sanibel island. Having set the alarm clock to 7 am, we got an early start. We packed food and drinks in the cooler, and packed up swimming and fishing gear. At 8.30 am, we drove the boat out of our canal. The water slowly changed color as we went down the Caloosahatchee river, from black to blue/green. We saw dolphins on the way. Going under the Sanibel Island Causeway Bridge a good hour later, we arrived at the gulf. We cruised along the sandy beach on the south side of the island, carefully checking the water depth on the sonar and picked out a good spot for anchoring. Then we jumped in the water. It was fantastic, the water felt like warm, smooth velvet, and the sky was blue.

The sandy bottom was full of "sand dollars" which are flat, circular versions of starfish

We caught some silvery fish using shrimp as bait
Jumping in the water was very refreshing after fishing in the hot sun
