It is such a great day to travel again. We decided to move on and travel to Treasure Island. Before we left we went for a long walk down the beautiful soft white sand beach of Clearwater. The wind had gone and the sun and blue skies were out. We went on what I call a shell walk, scouting for that perfect shell and a great walk to boot.... We found a couple of great shells for our collection. Lots and lots of birds everywhere looking for food. This one found his breakfast.On the way back to the boat we browsed the shops and Don found a shirt.
We left on Thurs. the 29th to warm temperature's of 73, blue skies everywhere and now much more boat traffic. But the boats were not the only traffic we had. We were on the dolphin highway and the highway was busy. They were everywhere. In front of our boat, behind the boat in our wake and in the right hand lane. I think he was trying to text us because he kept looking at me and rolling over and spinning in circles and then just flying out of the water as to say "this will surely get her attention". Well it did.. What an amazing site. I don't think that anyone can get enough of the playful dolphins.
It was a great cruise and coming into Treasure Island you certainly knew that you were in Florida. The palatial estates and homes along the shore line, one after another after another.... It was impressive to come into the Treasure Island Yacht Club Marina. The dock master put us next to Tom and Linda on Q's End which was great. They were waiting for us and after they helped us with the lines they were on their way to the pool. Sounds good to us so we changed and followed them. Beautiful pool and grounds. Don was in the water first and said "come on in, it is not Canadian water anymore". It was lovely and so refreshing. After a few hours at the pool we came back to the boat and cleaned up. Tom and Linda were going to have dinner at the Club so we joined them. They came over first for cocktails and hors d' oeuvres. The restaurant was beautiful and they had a great 2 piece band and singer playing. We had a great dinner with our great friends. Last time we had dinner with them it was back in Grafton. We came back to the boat and had a nite cap and called it a nite.
