St. Mark's to Dog Island off Carrabelle
The current at St. Mark's River had us turning around and around on the anchor but the wind finally died down and it was a calm night. We woke up and got a nice view of the lit lighthouse on the point. Numerous fishing boats got an early start and were the eight miles from St. Mark's to passing our anchorage close to the mouth of the gulf before daybreak. There were calm seas as we set out for Carrabelle and it was the calmest day of the three offshore passages from Tarpon Springs. We came in behind Dog Island instead of coming in the pass and anchored off the beach. From here we have a great view of the blue green waters of the gulf through the sea oats and over the sugary white beaches.
