We burned about 2 gallons of gas, 2 people and a big yellow dog. The
ride was nice and not too crowded back in the mangroves. Ed saw an
otter. He wanted to go swim with it.

The wife and I took the runabout (Searay 270 Sundeck) for a nice
cruise up Pine Island Sound to Boca Grande Pass this afternoon.
We were out Saturday and Sunday. Saturday we went to a friend's house on the lake for BBQ, and Sunday just rode around and sat, enjoying the lake. Lots of people out both days. Probably burned 25 gallons.
Only real trouble we saw was a DNR boat towing in a small aluminum john boat. It had capsized, and the DNR boat had to go very slow to prevent it fron diving under. The two people sitting in the front of the DNR boat didn't look very happy. I suspect they had some explaining to do. Might be why the deputy sherrif's car was at the marina they were headed to.
