there are only about 3 places we can anchor -
Marathon (Boot Key Harbor or near there)


==================================

Are you able to carry a 5 ft draft through the bascule bridge at Boot
Key Harbor and into the basin east of the bridge? The chart is a bit
sketchy regarding depths in that area.


The Boot Key bridge entrance is deep enough, but there is an electric
line over the entrance just past the bridge that would keep anyone
with a tall mast from going in there. It's the Sister's Creek
entrance that's iffy, although I have heard of someone with a 6 foot
draft doing it at high tide.
