About the time in Sanibel
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Sanibel day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 07:03 and sunset at 07:58 local time, giving 12h 55m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (26.45, -82.02) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Sanibel.
Sanibel sits at latitude 26.45, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 55m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
