Anclote Key is just west of Tarpon Springs. Ordinarily we would make the trip up the river and stay in Tarpon for a while but when we arrived yesterday afternoon we just wanted to stop bouncing around and get settled before the forecasted rain showed up. Plus, we knew we would have to deal with the autopilot issues eventually. We have anchored in this area before and it is beautiful. The island has a state park complete with a light house you can visit. There is a ferry over here during the warmer months and we're in a popular anchorage. Right now, however, we have the place to ourselves. The weather is too cold and wet to make the trip over to the island, maybe next time.

| The Anclote Lighthouse. This section of land is really not much more than mangroves and there is a lot of shallow water so the lighthouse is crucial to people navigating around here at night. |

| Not sure of the story on this boat, but it's bound to be a sad one. |

| Happy man after a safe trip, warm shower and cold bubbly. |
