St. Pete Highlight #4: Egmont Key
06 November 2015
After meeting & visiting at SSCA & Fresco's, GMV, Learning to Fly, Scout, & AL planned an overnight trip to Egmont; about 3 hours from the marina, under the Sunshine Skyway bridge & a bit further. It was a chance to leave the dock, use the anchor for a change, get some beach time & enjoy good company! Scout was still in the boatyard, so Stan & Beth couldn't make it. The beach on the ocean side is gorgeous, more easily accessible using the dinghy instead of the path through the wilderness! Yours truly should've had Deet on my entire body... We enjoy Bob's fajitas & Ted's margaritas, but the overnight is rather rough; cruising guides were correct. Oh well, still a fun time! Storms in the forecast, so we bail out early the next afternoon; still get some rain before getting back to the marina.
