Little Shark River to Annette Key and then to Big Pine Key, Florida

We left at daybreak from Little Shark River as the winds were calm but as soon as we got going the wind and waves picked up until we got past Cape Sable and then it calmed down as we dodged crab pots the whole way to Big Spanish Channel. We were planning on stopping at Big Spanish Key but we headed down to Annette Key and enjoyed lunch on the fly bridge. The wind had not changed direction as predicted so we moved down to Big Pine Key as a better place to spend the night.
