Tuesday and Wednesday: We left the dock and just went out and anchored just a short ways away. It was such a beautiful day we decided to put the dinghy in the water and do some exploring. This was the first time that we have used the dinghy since Keith and Jim put the it on top just after buying the boat. It went a little slow but we have the hang of it now and I am sure it will go faster every time. It works good using two people. We left anchorage Wednesday afternoon and just went about 11 miles to Sarasota, FL, and we ended up staying at Marina Jack's for the night as it was the only place that had a deep enough draft for us; very expensive, so we only stayed one night. We were able to fully charge all our batteries and wash some clothes.

CO's comments: Hardly any manual labor to put the dinghy in the water. We just push a button and it goes down and/or up.

This island was covered completely with birds. It is along the GIWW by Mile 85.0.
