Almost in...remembering Shell Creek adventure.

Chart view of our trek through Shell Creek and other bodies of water.

Legend, Black, first day, orange  second day of sailing. Incidentally, 20 Kts. of wind on the second day, a two reefer!

The entrance to Shell Creek, whose idea was this anyway? We just wanted to explore another body of water on the other end of this creek. No, we did not  have to come back the same way, we entered Long Sound, sailed into Little Blackwater Sound from there, into Blackwater Sound, through another cut on the Intracoastal, into Tarpon Basin, Buttonwood Sound and finally back into Fl. Bay to our home port.

  2. That was a first for me, could have used a machete, the boat pole served me well. I really could have used a case of Gordon's Gin, Charlie Allnut and Rose Sayer as mates. ;)
