Day 3
Day 3 was a good day. I woke up bright and early to catch the sunrise. I posted my adventures about day 2 and we slowly got everything together to get underway. We left Sarasota around 11am and headed south. Unfortunately the wind wasn’t playing nice so we pretty much had to motorsail the majority of the time on the water. We did go further out this time to avoid the ridiculous amounts of crab pots. We ventured about 7 miles off shore and tried to tack but the wind just want having it.
We picked our final destination of Venice, Florida. A city I’ve never been to and don’t know much about. We went into the bay area, looking for a spot to anchor down. Unfortunately the mooring field was full. So we headed down a little more to a marina/restaurant.
We docked and met some nice folks at the restaurant Marker 4. We had an opportunity to take a nice hot shower, eat, and have a few drinks while we watched the UL/SM bowl game at the Trop. We then took it to the boat and called it a night.
We got a pretty good amount of miles in considering the no wind. Today we plan on covering at least that distance, if not more!
