We usually take a shorter path with our 4'3"
draft. After an excellent anchorage in Little Shark River you can pass by Schooner Bank & pass through Yacht Channel to arrive at the 65' fixed bridge at Long Key and Lower Matecumbe. From here you can choose the Bayside or Hawk's Channel to
Miami. This will bypass Marathon and shorten your
route by about fifty miles. 'take care and joy, Aythya crew
