Little Pine Key

After several windy days keeping us dock side in this oasis with free ice, free towels, free pool  and very nice people it was now time to leave Banana Bay Marina or we will never leave this too comfortable place where people park their boats to come and spend the entire winter season. But WAIT!  Is that the USCG truck parked next to the dock house?  We wanted to get an inspection but ran out of time before leaving St. Pete. 45 min. later Don Weston from the Coast Guard Auxilary gave us our sticker as we passed the Inspection with flying colors. 


It was now time to go explore another section of keys and we selected the secluded Little Pine Key for protection from the NNW wind that was predicted for Saturday.  It is such a big contrast after the marina life to spend 3 beautiful days at anchor enjoying the clear, shallow water, we are in 4.5’ of water, and yes you can stand and walk around the boat, watching the wind increase, decrease and change direction along with stunning sunsets giving place to a full moon!
