Tarpon Basin Tranquility
About an hour sail southwest from our marina lies Tarpon Basin. It is just off the beaten path of the ICW and offers a secure and serene anchorage in almost any weather. Located inside the boundry of Everglades National Park, the bird watching is fantastic. Herons, Egrets, Osprey, Eagles, Roseate Spoonbill, and many other water foul abound. At Chrismas we get a special treat in that Flamingoes brighten the sky with their brilliant pink plumage. This has been our destination for the week between Chrismas and New Years for the past four years. Only 14 more days to tranquility.PM aboard Ursa Minor
