Dredging of Doctors Pass Inlet Complete (north of Naples and Gordon Pass)
Doctors Pass is a small inlet north of Naple’s Gordon Pass and south of Wiggins Pass. Glad to hear this passage has just been dredged, but, the sand is likely to wash back in almost as fast as it was pumped out.
Subject: Doctor Pass
Cruising News: The dredging of Doctor Pass is complete. There is plenty of Water and the small bay north of the pass provides a well protected anchorage. This is a great place to stop if you\’re looking for a quick in/out from the Gulf between Marco Island and Ft. Myers. There are no facilities available unless you dinghy under the bridge into Venetian Bay where you\’ll find a marina and store. The inlet and bay are well marked. Make sure you stay close to the markers. The center of the bay is VERY shallow. The north end of the bay is a good place to drop the hook. It\’s five minutes from the Gulf.
