January 3, 2015   Whale Key to Marina Jack’s Marina

Anchor was up and we were on our way by 9:20 as we had a long way to travel today. Not really only 6 miles to Marrina Jack’s Marina in downtown Sarasota. We had called yesterday and had reserved a slip for 3 days. At a cost of $ 2.65 per foot per day I wanted to get into the marina as early as possible. The trip was uneventful as Sarasota Bay is pretty deep with just a couple of shoal areas to watch for. We pulled into our slip at the marina and were met by 2 dock hands to assist us. Tied up and plugged into electric by 10:35. We then headed off to the local farmer market which was very nice but crowded. A beautiful marina next to a park.
