Woke up early and headed south along the ICW. We let the ladies sleep and wandered into the fog.
Fortunately there were no sand blastings of the props and we arrived into the relatively deep Sarasota Bay. Auto pilot took us across and into the downtown area.
From there it was a nice trip south along a mixture of man-made canals (called the ditch) and small bays.
Two bridges had to be lifted (or swung) for us to make it to Venice.
When arriving near Venice, the water turns a beautiful shade of blue and the visibility is fantastic. Lots of boats are in this area and you have to be careful.
South of Venice we hit another ditch which brought us to Pelican Bay, a very small harbor that is well protected from wind, and very popular.
It was Becky's birthday and she wanted a hot dog. So I popped open the grill and couldn't get it to start. I finally used a wadded up piece of paper and a regular BIC lighter to start it. I'll make sure we pick up a grill lighter at the next stop.
Toes were up around 10pm.
Total Miles Traveled ~ 100
