An easy day down the Florida ICW

 
75 degrees, clear blue skies, a gentle south wind, and a good running ship; it doesn't get much better.
 
We traveled from Tarpon Springs to Sarasota (75 miles) on the ICW today with around 5,000 other boaters. It was a pleasant voyage and we were docked in Sarasota by 4:00. We plan to get down to Sanibel tomorrow (75 miles) but we are going out on the Gulf instead of travelling the ICW.
 
If the waters were slightly crowded today, I can only imagine what they will be like on an Easter weekend Saturday.
 
 
 

Good Morning.

 

Jeff and Skip, salty old sailors.
