In the shadow of the Tampa Bay Bridge

We decided to leave the marina as soon as the diver cleaned the hull and running gear. There was a screw up and the diver did not turn up until 2 PM. But that was OK, normally a diver takes maybe an hour and we really only wanted to get the 25 miles down the Bay to be "strategically located" for Tuesday's offshore run to Pelican Bay.

The diver took THREE HOURS. I have no clue how he entertained himself, maybe he took a book down with him? As a result we did not leave until about 5:15 PM with only maybe 3 hours of light. So we shortened our route and decided to anchor behind the bridge viaduct on the south side. It was just dusk when we arrived so all was well. The weather was a bit windy (maybe 15 -20 MPH) but we were in the lee so quite comfortable.



We set the alarm for 6 AM
