Dialog to follow











We thought you would enjoy these photos. So far we have enjoyed a great 10 days in the Boca Grande area. Beautiful beaches and good restaurants plus hooking up with old friends from NY and making new friends from Argentina. Top photo is a collection of Diane's shell search at the north end of Gasparilla Island. Second photo - Osprae nest at our dock in Apollo Beach. Claudia takes such good care of the newborns. Third photo is taken from the water tower at Cabbage Key. Our boat is just to the right out of site behind the palms. Bottom photo is a Gopher Turtle on Cabbage Key. Diane had some great success finding shells on Gasparilla Island. Crab-w0man has morphed into 'shell woman'.
We left Apollo Beach (home for us, a suburb of Tampa) on April 15th. After fueling in St. Petersburg we anchored for the night in the Manatee River. On the 16th we sailed in the Gulf of Mexico to the Venice Inlet. From there we motor sailed down the ICW to an anchorage near Inglewood. From the 17th to today (25th) we have day sailed to several marinas and anchorages in the Boca Grande area. It's the Florida version of the Chesapeake Bay.
