We were up early to row ashore and walk to Boca Grande's tiny but beautiful church for Mass. Some robber baron tarpon fisherman must have been a generous donor. Back aboard, we had a leisurely pancake breakfast before heading out the bayou into Charlotte Harbor. In the channel we immediately fazed a strong wind and confused chop. But once set the sails and bore away on the course across the bay, it was a fast and fun sail with a reefed main and working jib. We were docked at Cabbage Key by 4 o'clock. Walked their nature trail and climbed the old water tower. They still have several large gopher tortoises we'd remembered from previous visits. We had an excellent dinner ashore and slept well despite the boat slip putting us stern to a strong wind for most of the night.
Our eldest son is 50 today!
