    We are back in Charlotte County!! And red tide…. Sigh. Only a few dead fish and the water is beautiful but my breathing is a reck! … Started in Sarasota Bay… I’m pretty sensitive to red tide toxins. Everyone else is fine. We hope to cross our wake tomorrow but winds for Charlotte Harbor are not good…. 10-20 NE which would be a pounding ride. That said we may push forward anyways. It’s been an awesome trip but now we are ready to come home. And we are ready to swap out our white burgee for a gold one! 🌟🏆💛🏅We are at anchor tonight in familiar territory although it looks very different. Helene and Milton dumped a lot more sand on the Ski Alley side of Manasota Key at Stump Pass State Park. It’s actually really pretty. We also checked out the new Milton Pass that cut thru the State Park. 78 miles today.Read more
