............................................................................--- May 2, 2011 ---

Nights Anchorage: 025o 14.648' N -- 080o 24.102' W -- Manatee Bay

Trip Odometer: 405.7 miles

Days Mileage...: 4.3 miles

........

Not sure why, but I didn't take any pictures of the final leg of the journey from Manatee Bay, above, on into South Dade Marina.

It was an uneventful passage for a boat with minimal draft like our Mac and maybe I didn't want to take pictures as I was a little down about the trip ending.

If you are a trailer sailor this marina is a good place to start or end a trip into the keys or both and is owned by a nice guy and the rates are reasonable.

Hope those of you who have endured to this point reading the trip report and such have enjoyed it and hopefully it will inspire some of you to also visit this great area. We are going back for sure with the Endeavour, but will miss the shallow draft of the MacGregor at times I'm sure.
