Punta Gorda - Wake Crossed !!!!

We crossed our wake today and are officially gold loopers!!! 🙌🙌. Charlotte Harbor was sporty but not nearly as bad as we expected. After crossing we continued to Alligator Creek and anchored off the bar. The water was super low with the NE wind. Moki enjoyed a romp on the bar. We enjoyed some down time, then went to Riviera Bar and Grill to celebrate. Our daughter Sara met us at the dock and our neighbors and James’s sister joined us for dinner. Tonight we are staying on the restaurant dock and will head up to Laishley Marina in the morning to pull out. This was an epic adventure!! And today was a Great day!!
