We left The Club at around 9:15 and traveled down to the pump out station since we were pretty full. Also filled up with fuel. That took about an hour and we finally departed St Petersburg at around 10:30. We followed the intracoastal waterway out into Tampa Bay and crossed over to Anna Marie Island. The Sunshine Skyway across Tampa Bay is really quite impressive from the water.
We were warned the channel at Anna Marina was tricky on that side and you had to be fully aware of the markers as yo went along as there was little depth on either side of the channel. Did run aground once because of marker confusion, but backed out turned around and reoriented to the right channel markers.
The rest of the trip was relatively smooth once we reached Sarasota Bay. Decided to pull into Marina Jack for the night. Shocked at the price after our 3 month sojourn at The Club at Treasure Island. Brenda watched the sunset from the upper deck with a glass of wine. However, it is a nice place and we went to dinner at the outdoor cafe located at the Marina.
