February 2011 Venice Inlet

I decided to look back through some of the older pictures and post some of the better ones. This group is from February 2011, when we were anchored at Snake Island near Venice inlet. It was a nice day after several rough weekends in a row, and lots of boats were out on the water.

Here is a canoe heading up the intracoastal



Really nice fishing boat heading out



A racing sailboat tacking out in the Gulf



Here's a couple of shots of the sailboater blocking the inlet. The Gulf is pretty big - never understood why people behave this way.





You just have to love Hobies - not sure why this one has an outboard on it, though.



Traffic jam on the intracoastal...



Crow's Nest has added electric boat rentals to their business. These are pretty cool although I wouldn't want to own one.





Kayakers getting into the act...



Another nice looking Sea Ray 260 out for the day.



The Sheriff checking things out...



This guy needs a little more wind, although I suppose that the paddles will get you there also.



The local "duck" boat out on the water.
