With a pre-dawn 7:00 a.m. start, we traversed back out the Withlacoochee River. The first part was quite peaceful and enjoyable. We saw loon-type birds in a tree and also noted the full moon. All pictured below.

Bert did a masterful job navigating back out the Withlacoochee River and well out into the Gulf of Mexico. We were going out with the tide so what took an hour and a half coming in the night before only took an hour out the next morning. Well done Captain! Rocks that were invisible going in were quite apparent on the way out.

| Make sure to stay in the channel! There are rocks out there. |
Day 3 on the Gulf was the best we've had so far. Very calm. We arrived in Tarpon Springs around 3:15 p.m. and were greeted once again by Bert's family at the Tarpon Springs Municipal Marina.
Tarpon Springs is a mini-Greece and a village based on the sponge industry. We enjoyed a fantastic Greek meal with Bert's family at Hella's restaurant. If you ever find yourself in Tarpon Springs, we highly recommend it.
