“The Bulkhead” (southern Tampa Bay GIWW) suggested by Navionics AutoRoute looked a bit nerve wracking to me. So, Shelly double-checked the Notice to Mariners, then we took it very slowly, and ultimately passed without a problem.
Roughly where the crosshairs are.
Shelly is a big Tom Brady fan, so we flew our colors for the trip across Tampa Bay. We did not see Tom out on his boat today. Shelly says he’s got a game to prepare for tomorrow (Monday) night.
Sarasota by the water. We made Marina Jack’s easily by sunset. (49.6nm, 7 hours). We met some Looper-wanna-bees.
The Crab Pots page was updated with some new color combinations.

Hi Ray & Shelly, This is Harry Verby, I’m a good friend of Steve Romano’s. We actually met from a distance in Block Island sound when you had picked the boat up from Rhode Island, I was heading to Block at the time and we crossed paths. I’ve been enjoying all the posts and following your trip since around Cleveland. You’re in a great spot at Marina Jacks. I’ve been there a few times (my sister lives a few blocks away). Keep doing a great job with the posts and have a safe rest of your journey. HArry

Thanks Harry. We got our FIRST pics of our ‘new’ boat underway from YOU that day in Block Island sound. Thanks for reaching out. (July 19, 2020 post!)
Good pics of Steve there.
