First time we've had time to get out this year. Unfortunately, got cut short by a cold front yesterday that brought thunderstorms.

A few photos:

Anchored close to home, Beer Can Island AKA Pine Key:

Can't wait to get out again, maybe even see if we can get another trip to the Keys in this year.

No, we decided Wednesday morning to make our way back into Tampa Bay and get home before it came through.

Our original plan was to leave St. Pete Beach and sail down to Venice Inlet and motor down to anchor at Stump Pass for a few days. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing 25 knots directly from the south from Sunday morning, all the way into Wednesday, so we hung out in St. Pete Beach and got to at least get a good day sailing back up into Tampa Bay.
