I will be going across there in a couple of weeks to Tampa.  What  about 
going to the Cross-Florida barge canal, which is south of Cedar Key and  anchoring 
there for the night and then make Clearwater the next day instead of  doing 
the overnight run?  The charts show it has good deep water.  I  am familiar 
with Cedar Key and the water there is shallow in spots. I need 4.5'  and the 
charts show plenty of water for anchoring just outside the barge  canal.  I have 
seen a large 50' sailboat anchored way up in the canal next  to the bridge the 
last time I was driving across the bridge.  I do not  believe there is any 
barges using the canal, but I am not sure.
