Starting the Shake-Down cruise


We left Marathon and sailed the outside route (Hawk Channel) to Caloosa Cove Marina in Lower Matecumbe Key. With 10-11 knots of wind from the southeast, Deeper Season sailed beautifully at up to 9 knots. At the resort, we tied up on the seawall, had help from some really nice boaters with suggestions for other places to stop, and checked out the fishing gear on sale. The next morning, ready for an early departure, we found we were aground, so we waited until noon and a higher tide, then were on our way.
