We traveled south on the Intracoastal, transiting a number of bridges, including the Hatchett Creek Bridge. This is a bascule bridge, with the bridge hinged and lifting for boats to pass.
We stayed the night at the Venice Yacht Club. We were fortunate to get in, as they were hosting a sailing regatta, and barely had room for us.
They put Monarch at a secondary dock, near the Club, which was accessible through this impossibly narrow channel.
The Venice Inlet allows boats to come and go to the Gulf.
We walked the nice beach, well populated on this warm day.
We found this ship’s wheel, marking the entrance to a motel.
The next morning, as we departed Venice, we paused so another group of Optimist Dinghies could make their way out for a race.
It was a great day for small sailboats, as we next saw a Sunfish regatta.
Here is a fly fisherman, trying his luck in the Intracoastal.
We headed for Cayo Costa once more. It was a busy time at the barrier sand bar.
And a beautiful night awaited us.
