30 Skater, Boating, Sep 19, North Boca Grande, FL

[AppSysCons]

We left the lift behind my house at about 10:35 and returned about 3:00. Down Charlotte Harbor, west through Boca Grande pass, out to the Gulf, north to the northern tip of Boca Grande (Gasparilla Island) to Gasparilla Pass. We anchored a few feet off the beach.

The Harbor was rocking and rolling right inside of Boca Grande pass, this is pretty normal during tide changes, the Gulf was flat.

For us it was a 65.1 mile round trip, I burned 27.8gal of 93 octane, so that’s 2.34mpg.

Here are a bunch of pictures, enjoy.

Nice. Got to love the boating here (even in the summer).

We took the boat down to the Keys in August... when I get some time I will have to post some pictures up. The water (especially Florida Bay) was an unreal shade of blue/green... it was actually cooler looking than what I saw in the Bahamas.
