Up with the sun - not - and headed south in the general direction of St. Petersburg, passing through 5 bascule bridges, all of which had to open for us. We decided to stop on the west side of town at Maximo Marina, mainly because of it’s proximity to West Marine and Publix (our new favorite grocery store). We ran aground on the way into the marina, but got off without much trouble and made it the rest of the way into the marina without any further difficulty. Funky little marina with a number of live-aboards. Not much in the way of restaurants on this side of town, so we had dinner aboard.
