Atlanta traffic

usually I am leaving from work. It saves me 45 minutes but I have to make it through commuter traffic.

My Florida Base

More hours than anticipated I make it to my base of operations in Florida. This was about 5 am. I did my shopping on the way in.

Fast bird

Mid morning, after some much needed rest I am near my destination, Shell Key. This bird hit the after-burners.

Unpacking

I decided to launch from the boat ramp at Ft. DeSoto. It worked well. There is a distance from the parking but it was a sandy launch.

An alternate launch

Here is the thin strip of sand at the low sea wall. I have already rigged my cooler to pull out to the island. Several launched on the other end of the bridge.
