Ted, With no details on your
boat like
draft, speed you travel, etc. your question is difficult to answer. Most boats anchor in the Little Shark River overnight and then Marathon is an easy day run, depending again on your speed. There are several excellent
anchorages between Ft. Myers and Cape Sable. If the
weather is settled, and that's important, just pull in to shore anywhere north of Cape Sable and drop your hook however close your
draft will allow. Have up to date
charts for the area. Once again, details about when you plan to go have been left out and that is important. During certain times of the year,
weather windows can be very short. You might try again and add all those details. The answers you get might be more helpful. Chuck
