We left Three Rooker Bar and headed back up the Anclote River to Port Tarpon Marina to fill up with diesel and water and dump garbage in anticipation of having a good weather window to head around the big bend of Florida to Carrabelle. A trawler was at our spot at the fuel dock but we easily got in and out and got a free beer huggie with Port Tarpon Marina on it. We headed back close to where we anchored before off Dutchman Key next to Anclote Key. We took the dinghy towards shore where it was very shallow grassy flats and headed to the tiki hut. We tied up to a downed tree and walked the sandy flats around to the gulf side of the island. All the power boats were tied up along the beach. We walked awhile and here the shore birds were all just sitting on the beach. There was one sailing catamaran anchored off the point which we watched sail away at sunset.
