Sarasota, FL

December 7, 2011

I left Clearwater this morning at 7:35 AM heading to Sarasota.  I said good-bye to everyone – they are staying on the west coast or heading to the Keys.  It was a bit sad.

I went back out into the Gulf for the ride to Tampa Bay.  Then I entered the Intracoastal again.  It was a pretty easy day.

Egmont Key -- great anchorage!

I docked at Marina Jack’s at 1:50 PM.  I immediately saw Spirit of Whitby.  This is wonderful!  I have a friend here.

Then I found that my friends Free 2 Be, and Something Special are also here!  Fun!  A bit later Muddy Waters also came in.  Loopers!!

Maina Jack's

The front that had been threatening came in and we had rain and wind.  The temperature dropped quickly.  It went from shorts weather to overcoats!
