11.29.10
We left early this morning to make sure we had the tide on our side. We motored through the thin part of the channel and once it opened up into the Tampa Bay, up went out sails! It was beautiful day for a sail, too. The weather was a perfect "welcome back" after our long hiatus from the sea. We made excellent time getting down to the Skyway bridge and decided we could make it all the way to Sarasota by sundown.
We took the ICW from Tampa for the remaining short jaunt down and made it to our anchorage right before sunset. To celebrate, we had steaks and wine for dinner as we watched the lights twinkle on in our favorite city to anchor off thus far. The winds were supposed to be against us the following day, so we planning on staying in Sarasota to get a few things accomplished and then set out on Wednesday.
