Looks like there are no nav markers past the entrance from the Gulf, so it might be "interesting" to run without local knowledge.

There usually a few people that run on Sunday and go get lunch towards the gulf.

Standard makers as you enter the gulf but look at a chart first as there are two entrances from the river . See you there .

Looking forward to it. I saw the two entrances, but the markers stopped right after the inlets. I've eyeballed those on my charts before when I was running up to Steinhatchee, but it didn't look like much was there. I've never taken a boat up in that area that drafted less than 4'. Y'all just run the middle on the rest of it? My Navionics app shows depths of 0-6 feet, and it would be nice to stay away from the 0-2 feet parts.
