We woke up this morning here at Clearwater Municipal Marina, made coffee, watched TV , had breakfast and discussed staying another day or moving on to an anchorage. We went for a bicycle ride to the Publix about two miles away on the very nice bicycle path along the waterway. The grocery store was located in an upscale business park, well landscaped with other stores offering supplies and provisions. Clearwater has been a nice visit, lots of restaurants, and retail opportunities. Marina costs are escalating as we travel farther south into Florida. We will look for an extended stay somewhere in Ft. Myers, as well as Marathon, reducing overall cost of daily transient fees.
Brought groceries back to the boat, stored them away and I went for a bicycle tour of downtown business district while Tom caught up on some phone calls to friends back home. When I got back to the boat, we both decided let’s pick up and head down the coast. We left Clearwater around 1:30. I feel bad for the vacationers that you see on the beach regardless that it is cold (High 66) and windy today. I enjoyed myself because I had a wide bicycle path all to myself along a beautiful white sand beach.
We are anchored for the night at MM 121 looking off our stern at the Don Cesar Hotel located in St Petersburg Beach. Tonight on board, I prepared the fresh tilapia purchased this morning in Clearwater and it was delicious. Nice evening on anchor. Watched a little TV, brought blog up to date and called it a night. It is an extremely windy night and of course we didn’t select the most protected anchorage. A little anxiety about the anchor slipping through the night. One other boat anchored here near us.
