Sunshine Skyline Bridge across Tampa Bay
The Newtons' cat "Tut" pays us a visit..
Though Sallyann was still not feeling completely up to par, we slipped our dock-lines before 7:30 a.m. to continue our trip south about 38 miles to an anchorage on the Manatee River.
The trip today took us through a number of bridges necessitating our taking down our antennas so that we could sneak under them, and at some we had to request openings. We also now passed through a very well-marked waterway with many beautiful homes on the shores.
Finally we entered enormous Tampa Bay with its Sunshine Skyline Bridge and headed across the ship channel through some choppy waters to our anchorage just off the Bradenton Yacht Club. Both boats were rafted together for a while, but in the interest of safety, and because of the breeze, the wakes, and the current, "Freedom" eventually broke off and anchored a little away from us for the night.
