It was a bit frustrating to say the least when I lost all that blog material last night but I will attempt to reconstruct. We saw many new sights today as we moved further south. There was a car ferry that crossed the ICW to some barrier islands. This was the first double ferry I […]

We departed Venice at 1030 waving goodbye to Goree and Barbara. By the way if you are looking for a great little house in Venice on the intracoastal with a boat dock capable of tying up a 40+ foot boat then check out homesbyowner.com/18022 . It was a beautiful ride down

…and this time I have a picture to prove it. More on this story later but first let us journey back to where I left you yesterday when I was about to fall asleep. We arrived at the beautiful canal home of our friends Goree and Barbara Waugh. They are one canal over from

Today we left Sarasota at 1015 and headed to the canals of Venice. No we do not have to go to Italy, only about 20 miles down to the home of my old fraternity brother Colonel Goree Waugh. We have only seen each other a few times

We are on the move again with real propellers this time. The view above is one of the bridges that connect the barrier islands in Clearwater and span a pass out to the Gulf. We left the Clearwater Yacht Club at 0930 pretty close to low tide. Probably not a good idea as we

What a busy day we have had. I hardly know where to begin but the early hours were spent getting ready for our diver who was coming to reinstall the props. Had to remove the dinghy and fold the davits back. Brent, from Suncoast, arrived and began the job. One of the blades was an

What an interesting day it has been. We started with storms and ended with an elegant dinner in the Clearwater Yacht Club. Now to what happened in between. We went walking out to lunch and settled on the Gondolier, a Greek owned Italian restaurant. Mighty tasty. Afterward we saw a trolley and on a lark
