Some 50 miles lie ahead of us to get to Little Shark River, about half way to Marco Island. We set off early, like 7.30 a.m. and headed west on the ICW again (no depth problems) to a point a bit west of mile marker 1815 and then turned north across the Bay. A pleasant trip in warm weather, about 15 kts of east wind and 2ft beam seas . Stabilizers were not necessary, and we spent most of the time on the flybridge, enjoying the warm temperatures and the scenery. Crab-pots were just a small nuisance from time to time. An hour before sunset, we arrived at Little Shark River anchorage, where 3 sailboats and a Mainship trawler already had taken the best spots. But we found a good enough one closer to shore, in shallow water. Churned up some mud while manoeuvring, but always had 2 ft under the keel.
Again we spent a very quiet night at anchor. Not a sound from outside all night.
