| In Siesta Keys, the way was pretty deep and clear, first beach I was at that didn't have a lot of crud in it, and could see through pretty well. |

| Out boat mast was too tall to get under the bridge, so we had to wait for a couple bridges to open to get under them. |
|
| Frank Thompson: | 09/20/2021 |
| On our way out of Ft. Lauderdale channel, the channel was full of folks on their way out. |
