X2. I don't do Homosassa often, even though it's not far away, because the bottom looks most unforgiving to those without the advantage of local knowledge. Counting on Mr. England to provide same.

He`s pretty good about that.
Think I`ll be trimming a surface drive.

Default Nature Coast Navigatin'

I have developed the following rules of engagement whilst naviagtin anywhere between Anclote Key and Apalachicola -
1) If you can't see land, you may be OK. However this is not certain.
2) If you can see land and you are not 110% sure you are in the channel - SLOW DOWN NOW and tilt your motor up.
3) If you can't see land but see sets of Channel Markers going over the horizon, they will lead to a Quaint Little Fishing village with over priced beer and expensive gas, but you might run into Kmoose, Blue Heron, Father Frank or Tom Paris there!
4) Do not follow air boats even if they have those Crazy bare foot Cracker girls in 'em from Perry what wear them Johnny Reb Confiderate flag bathing suits. Of course I tuck in right behind one when I'm going by the FWC boat coming in the channel and the officers pull them over to make sure everything is tucked in properly and that way I just scoot by I don't have to sort out all my iced down catch and get into big discussions about running lights and flares and stuff like dat.
5) Follow a big 'ol faded Bertram or Hatteras whenever possible - but not too closely. Never follow a Bayliner or SeaRay, especially if they are shinny.
6) Set up a "Lay Away" account with Ken at Prop Gods.
Signed, John Lerro

Mel and I will probably just sleep in our own bed at home considering we live 30 or so minutes away. Any trip set up overnight requires the puppies to be put in prison.
What are the options for keeping the boat in a slip there? If someone without a sled is staying and can add my Tsunami to their room we will be more than happy to pay the premium.
