Longboat Pass and Emerson Point, Manatee River



We were blessed with gorgeous weather for the next few days and motored on the ICW through Longboat Pass. We had 17 sailboats at this point and dined at Moores Stone Crab Restaurant for a wonderful dinner celebrating the cruise captain's, Chuck Witzke's, birthday. Sandi even baked him a cake and the restaurant graciously served it to us all. It was fun getting to know so many nice people - what a great bunch of sailors!




It was fun dinghing through a residental canal to Whitney Bay, walking over to the beach, talking to the locals and having a soda at the little place in town.

The next day we traveled to Emerson Point on the Manatee River where we anchored for the night.
