We were up at the crack of dawn, happy to be on the move again. We left Clearwater Municipal Marina at 6:55am.
 |
| Sun rising over the Scientology HQ...this one's for you Tom Cruise |
 |
| Rejoined the Intercoastal Waterway...southward bound |
 |
| We only had to wait for only two bridges today |
 |
| We liked the tenacity of the small house wedged in between two monsters |
As we motored along we were followed by this huge Sportfisherman boat. It was a lovely sleek craft in pale aqua. As it passed us Kerm was salivating and promising that he will own one when we win the lottery.
 |
| When it passed us we noted that it was called Blue Heaven and Kerm said it was a perfect name |
 |
| Sunshine Skyway Bridge from Tampa Bay |
 |
| Closer shot of the bridge but you can't see the pretty suspension wires...new camera |
Tampa Bay was a moderate chop so we were tossed about a little but it only for on hour or so. Not bad at all.
 |
| Jewfish Key...lots of boats in there enjoying a "Cheeseburgers in Paradise" on a nice Saturday afternoon |
We had a great day on the Belle traveling 57 miles to Sarasota Bay. We grabbed a mooring ball for only $25 a night and we don't have to worry about anchor drag all night.
 |
| Mooring Field |
 |
| Marina Jack's |
 |
| Our mooring ball |
 |
| Condos with Moorish flourished |
 |
| Front deck looking a little messy...not my usual pristine presentation |
 |
| Navionics screen showing exactly where we are moored |
Tomorrow we are hoping to reach the mooring field down in Fort Myers Beach. We may go on the outside in the Gulf of Mexico rather than using the Intercoastal Waterway...but we will see what the morning brings.
Love to all and take care
Christie
