From Buffett's song -- "Travis McGee's still in Cedar Key, that what John MacDonald said"

John MacDonald did write some books about his main character Travis McGee from Cedar Key. Try "The Quick Red Fox".

Just a little trivia......

Cedar Key is a popular stopping off place for cruisers going from northwest Florida down south, and back. It's a relatively short straight shot across open water from Apalachicola / St. Marks to Cedar Key avoiding the shallow water and the Big Bend, while minimizing time off shore. Should see a lot of cruisers this time of the year.

I agree, a great place to sail around, but like it was said earlier, stay in the channel until you get off shore, away from the oyster beds. And don't ever jump off your boat barefooted if you run aground!
