It has been far too long since we've visited Clearwater Pass so I decided to motor on up Saturday. It was a nice ride up from Manatee and the skies looked clear all of the way up. In the areas I was close enough to see the beach Idalia's impact was clear with widespread erosion up to the highest points of the dunes where they existed.
Though the day started out decently, with sporadic cloud cover, the clouds got heavier and skies darker as the day moved on. Facing a long ride home I bailed when there were dark clouds in every direction and heavy rains less than a mile away. Hopefully our next visit will be a little better as the images suffered from the decreasing light as the day progressed.
