We are buying a 1986 Carver Mariner 32'. We'll be bringing her from St Petersburg (technically Gulfport) FL to the Anclote River in Tarpon Springs FL soon. The southern end of the route is unfamiliar to us, and we don't know whether to take the channel up towards Johns Pass or go down, around and out to open water and head north. Any comments are welcome.
Hmmmm, maybe I should post this in another topic?

Re: We're New!
I have traveled both routes. If the winds are Nw, W or SW I would stay inside. Take the channel thru tierra verde up the inner coastal is a piece of cake. Very well marked. Tons of boats if you travel the weekend
If the winds are low or from the NE, E, SE you can run the egmont key channel all the way up to 3 rooker island and in the tarpon channel there.
