Might be a little too expensive for us this year after just buying the boat. What's the average cost for 2 people?

Lots of variables, but around $1000 each

It's been 10 years since I was out there, but the protected shallows behind Passage Key used to be a hangout for nudists, so I would stop there for a lunch break and enjoy the sights. Once, after leaving we sighted a large naked guy floating out to sea with the tide, which had swept him off of the bar when he was trying to get back to his anchored boat. We drove over to him and offered a ride back to his boat, which he declined, and instead we threw him a line and slowly towed him back to safety, keeping an eye out for sharks. Later, we realized that we might have saved his life. Since he might have been a total loss but for our efforts, my favorite line that day was "would that be considered a "salvage" or a "tow"?
The waters around the North end of Anna Maria island(Bean Point) are often crystal clear and are reminiscent of the waters in the Keys. The sandbars at that location have come and gone over the years, but it's an unbelievably beautiful spot at times, and the adjacent Passage Key Inlet channel does hold some fish.
I see on the Google Earth imagery that there is a "new" sandbar formed on the South side of the Bunces Pass inlet. I wonder if the government has annexed it and are enforcing their "no alcohol" policy? Or, is it off-limits for boaters?
