Between stops: the run south passes through The Narrows — the skinny, roughly five-mile stretch of the Intracoastal tucked behind the barrier islands, about 5–8 ft deep — where the sandbars off Indian Rocks make an easy anchor-and-swim stop. Every time on this sheet is measured one-way from the marina to the place, not from stop to stop.
