Clearwater

We were sad to say good bye to Tarpon Springs.  Our lovely little Greek escape, opa....  The weather was beautiful, about 72ish and clear blue skies.  It was not a long distance to Clearwater but it took a bit of time to get out of Tarpon Springs.  Lots of boat but this time we did not have to contend with the crab pots, at least not that many only a rouge one here and there.  We had said our good byes to Phil and Carolyn and wished them the best and hope that thing got straightened out with her arm and that we would keep in touch.  It was a nice cruising day again and 20+ miles through St Joseph Sound.  We arrived at Clearwater Beach Municipal Marina in no time.  It was a big marina and they were putting us on the T end of the main dock but when we got there the whole dock was full of pelicans and sea gulls and any bird that wanted to rest and shit.  Everywhere you could see.  After I jumped off and tied up one line Don got off and did the rest.  The marina dock master did come by and had the whole dock washed off with a high pressure washer.  It was much better. 

We went for a walk down to the boardwalk and beach at Pier 60.  It was windy out, but there were people everywhere.  The city certainly takes great care of the beaches.  There were many vendors on the Pier, and they set up 2 hours before and 2 hours after sunset.  I thought that they were going to be blown away. We went for a drink at Hooters and a munchies.  Then came back to the boat and cleaned it down and I worked on this blog for a bit.  Cooked a great dinner and watched TV.   Sunshine like to watch me cook dinner.  Her favorite perch in to lay across the wooden duck, how funny she is to watch.  A nice simple nite.
