Up anchor about 9 am heading towards St. Petersburg. We have several anchorages picked out and will decide when we get closer. Had many bridges to pass under today. Some are close to our height. The trick is if you can see the far bottom edge of the bridge from the highest point on the boat you will clear the bridge. Jerry got out on the aft deck behind the bridge to watch our highest point which right now is a TV antenna. We have 2 radio antennas on each side of the bridge that we lowered. They would not have cleared most of these bridges. The bridges lift but if you can clear it, you aren't supposed to call for an opening.
I took this picture standing on the bow. It was close.
Today's anchorage is much different from yesterday's. Anclote Key is a small narrow island with the Gulf on the opposite shore. Mostly birds inhabit it. We are at Boca Ciega surrounded by high rise condos and big homes. It must be a great place for watching dolphins. We've seen two dolphin cruises come by.
These are the ones we captured. There appeared to be 3 dolphins just playing, kicking up water and almost wrestling with each other. We watched them for several minutes, then they were gone.
