Headed off early to next anchorage, by way of jupiter inlet, we got a terrible shock as we touched sandy bottom, thankfully briefly. It is very disconcerting to suddenly feel the ground (boat) rise up underneath your feet.  Resolved to be more respectful of inlets in future, where shoaling is common.  Reached Peck Lake safe and sound, nature reserve, very peaceful, dinghy made it to barrier island, and we walked to atlantic ocean for a swim. Manatee came a visiting early next morning, but bad weather was forecast so we headed for safe harbor at Nettles Island Marina further north.
