No rain today. Considerably warmer, but not hot. We paddled to Hendricks Isle and the Isle of Venice, where the SSCA members had told us we could rent a slip for considerably less. I was expecting marinas, but it turned out they were waterfront apartment buildings that rent the slips in front of their buildings. Most of them rent only by the month, and we're not planning on being here another month. One place rented by the week, at $125 week. That's not much less than we're paying now, and I like it a lot better where we are. We probably won't be here more than two more weeks, so it doesn't seem worthwhile moving.
Roy returned to the boat to work on stuff, and I paddled around. Went across Lake Sylvia and Mayan Lake. I had planned on following the Tarpon River back to the boat, but when I was about two-thirds of the way up it, I came to an impassable barrier. I would have had to crawl through a sewer pipe to go any farther, so I turned around and went back to New River and up that way. It was getting cool by then, so I took a hot shower and relaxed.
The guy on the boat next to us bought the old charts, so now we have a little more room on the boat and we're $200 richer. Of course, it will soon be spent.
