Shell Island to Belleair Bluffs past Clearwater, Florida
We had a few commercial boats cruising by that awakened us before daybreak. We pulled anchor and viewed the beautiful sunrise behind us and we headed out the long channel to the gulf passing the sandy beach of Shell Island. We saw one other cruising sailboat and lots of small fishing boats as we cruised south. We came in the pass south of the river heading to Tarpon Springs and cruised passed the barrier islands of Anclote Keys. We passed by where we anchored before near Dutchmen Key and also past Three Rookers Key deciding to press on through Clearwater to the anchorage at Belleair Bluffs. What a great birthday cruise for Glenn.
