Apr. 4, 2019 Venice to Englewood Beach

A nice day but SE wind and we're going SE, so power only.  4 hrs. to a favorite anchorage, just inside Stump Pass, on a narrow inlet. We anchored fore and aft, so were secure even though the tidal current was strong both ways. I explored by dinghy to see if the pass itself is navigable for Carina. It is, at least for now; shallowest spot 5' of water. The pass was dredged in 2017. May shoal in the future. Back at the boat, we began to get rain- radar shows only this tiny spot of rain on the whole Gulf coast.
Grilled a steak in the rain and enjoyed it with mushrooms and onions. Slept well, and rain quit so we could open up the cabin.
