Had a blast. Did lunch at Rotten Ralphs one afternoon, which was a quick scooter ride from the hose. Beautiful Vikings to look at also.
Rented the boat on Wednesday, headed out LongBoat Cut and up to explored Egmot Key, very cool. On the way back we saw at least 50 dolphin feeding came right up to the boat, kids loved it. Headed into Anna maria sound to Cortez bbridge for lunch at Seafoos Shack which was pretty good, place was empty. From there we headed back out the cut and down to New pass between Longboat and lido key. Checke dout the awesome houses stopped for a cold one at The Salty Dog along with some fuel for the boat.
Only real trouble I had was finding my way to the channel after the Salty Dog. I only had two beers so that wasn't it. Markers were none existant heading north until you were in trouble. A quick dredge thru a swallow area and we were back in business.
Thanks for all the pointers for the trip. We will definalely head back there again.
