Kenny, duck under the bridge to Boca Grande and ease south in the ICW. When you get to the Pass, turn southeast toward the fishing village of Bokeelia and run to about 26-42-13 / 82-08-47 which is near the east end of the structures and the mouth of Shell Cut. Shoot down that channel to about 26-42-09 / 82-08-56 and throttle down. Come around the the Fish house at 26-42-03 / 82-08-57 and ease up under the monorail crane and you can buy ice by the basket. Be careful using it for Mel's cocktails though - instead of an olive it might have a mullet eye ball lookin back at her.

When you get topped off go back out through Shell Cut and head back NW to 26-42-52 / 82-10-57 and pick up the green markers on the ICW "Cut Off" Channel. Point toward 26-42-45 / 82-11-58 which is just east of Mondongo Island. Stay tight to the green marker next to the island or you'll find the bottom. Run down to 26-39-14 / 82-12-44 and tuck around the south end of Useppa Island and you'll punch out in the Cabbage Key anchorage. Idle over to 26-39-22 / 82-13-07 which is the mouth of the channel into Casa Del KMoose, for the weekend. Your place is just north of the covered dock.
