Along the way to Sarasota we stopped to spend the night at the American Legion dock in Madeira Beach. It got very windy and rough and the tide fell 3 feet, so we couldn't leave till the next day. So being cruisers we did what cruisers do, we went in and had chicken wings and cold beer.
American Legion Hall and docks (free).
Dolphins visit the boat regularly.
The Skyline bridge on the way to Sarasota. (175 ft. tall)
An actual Coast Guard rescue in Tampa Bay. A single person was hoisted up by sling and the boat continued on toward Tampa. We hailed several times and was there to assist but got no reply. It was over by the time we got really close and they went on their way so we did the same.
The ICW is very shoal here. The lite blue water next to the boat is 6-8 ft. deep, the darker shade of blue/black is 2-3 ft. and the lite tan is sand about 1 ft. deep. This is about 15-20 feet away on either side of us.
