Nancy on the phone at a peaceful anchorage near Cape Haze
That's us waiting to go through the Blackburn Point swing bridge south of Sarasota
We were favorably impressed with
the cruising speed of this boat.

was a mere 3.5 gallons per hour --
total for both engines!

from the Gulf side showing the ravages
of Hurricane Charley. A bit farther north,
the island was split in two by the storm.
