We got ahead of our “pack” of fellow boaters & fell into this scenic portion of the Intracoastal Waterway, with no other boats in sight.  A few minutes after this photo was taken, we “pulled over” at a bend, anchored & had a fantastic spot all to ourselves for the night.

Earlier in the day, we waited for & passed thru the last remaining pontoon bridge on the ICW.  As its name implies, it is actually a car bridge that floats on pontoons.  At opening time (yep, on the hour) a barge tied to it pulls it aside for us to pass.  Its days are numbered, as a replacement bridge has been built, which will open in 3 weeks.
