[Rhodes22-list] Tampa Bay area mini cruise

My Admiral and I are bareboating a Beneteau 323 out of St Pete next week on a
3 day / 2 night mini cruise.  To make this Rhodes relevant, it was a close
call between bareboating and towing our Rhodes, s/v Muireann, down.  And, in
more Rhodes relevance, our owning a 22' sailboat along with some ASA courses
completed before we got Muireann made bareboating easy.  In the end, taking
our Mooney 231 down and bareboating won out over driving, this time.  It was
close, but we're a little pressed for time so the 5 hour trip using the
Mooney won out over a probably 20 hour or more trip towing Muireann to FL.  

Anyway, our plans aren't firm yet, but the basic idea, assuming the weather
cooperates, is to visit Egmont Key day one, spend night one on the hook in
or near the Manatee River, and "play it be ear" for day two/ night two,
possibly returning to St Pete to hit the restaurants or spending another
night on the hook probably somewhere along the south side of Tampa Bay.

Any "must see" or "must sail" stuff that we should be considering?  

Mike Cheung, s/v Muireann
