1st Anchorage




We departed Tarpon Springs in a thick fog at 9 a.m. Peter's experience and the NavNet equipment got us through it w/o any problems and the fog broke after about 2 1/2 hours just north of Tampa Bay entrance. We arrived at Jewfish Key / Longboat Pass at 1:40 and set anchor, inflated Avon 'Rover' (outboard started on 3rd pull after no use for over a year) and prepared a great Shrimp Alfredo Pasta w/ brocolli and salads w/ balsamic vinagrette. Full moon - 68 nm @2,000 rpms = 13 knots. All is well. Tomorrow we will make Sarasota (a distant 14 nms) with no particular plan set in stone ...
