My wife and I took a long weekend and our original plans had to be rescheduled so we find ourselves looking for something to do this weekend. The weather isn't going to be great on Friday or Saturday but Sunday and Monday look promising.
We're leaving from the Little Manatee river and want to get out of the bay. This is the first time having the 27' Proline out of the bay (only the 4th time out since working the kinks out) so we want to do day trips, starting more local and venturing further as the weather allows. We have the ability to spend the night aboard if necessary.
Right now, I want to hit Egmont Key and walk the roads and trails to see the remains of the fort but have only ever anchored off the western side and wasn't able to venture inland. Where is the best place to anchor to access the roads?
After Egmont, we will probably head towards Cortez via the ICW. If we manage all of this on Sunday we will probably be looking for places to go on Monday and I'm thinking of heading north around St Pete. Any suggestions for places to stop / eat? I assume John's pass will be good and maybe a stop at Anclote Key? Just looking for suggestions for places where I have an opportunity to really run the boat with entertaining stops.
Thanks.
