Tuesday 11/27
Arising at 0'dark thirty, we make our crossing in very desirable conditions.(Oh! what a difference a day makes) As we continue south on the the GIWW, we enjoy the scenery along Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key until anchoring in a “Skipper Bob”(cruising guide) well protected location near New Pass. It seems the dolphins have an affinity for this cove as we see them “porpoising” to our delight! A short walk takes us to another beautiful Gulf coast beach along Longboat Key. After a dinghy cruise and happy hour, we enjoy a delicious steak barbeque with corn on the cob and fresh green beans.
