A chance to have both of us in the picture

Tuesday night in Tarpon Springs, we elected to eat on board and relax with the A/C on since we were still so tired from the crossing . Wed we rode bikes around Tarpon Springs "sponge harbor" and had lunch at the Rusty Bellies restaurant. Tom decided to dive under the boat to sucessully remove the crab pot line that was tangled on the rudder. Tom's cousin Ronnie Scheffler, from Crystal River FL, drove to Tarpon this afternoon. After an enjoyable afternoon catching up and just enjoying the day, we went to dinner at Captn Jack's and had a great time. We hadn’t seen him for 8 years so that was a very enjoyable visit.
It was raining Thursday morning but we decided to move on to Clearwater anyway. We left at 11:00 am but it was a slow trip due to the shallow intracoastal water of 5 to 7 feet. At the Clearwater Municipal Harbor we docked across from Biddi and the Beast. They have been here for a week and are leaving the boat here while they go home for Christmas.
There is a post office right at the marina so I was able to mail packages and post cards home for the holidays. That was a relief since finding a post office within walking or biking is few and far between. We walked over to looper friends Dave & Pam Feltner aboard "Adagio" and caught up on the latest since we haven't seen them since Dog River Marina in Mobile, Al. After conversation aboard "Adagio" we decided to walk over to "Frenchy's Sea Food Company" for dinner. Fun night. Came back to the boat, bring the Blog up to date, and enter trip data in spreadsheets. Tomorrow ? "Noah Genda"
It is so fun traveling with you both. We are glad that you had a safe crossing. I wish we would have done something like that when we where younger. You both look great. Have a Merry Christmas.
