Clearwater to Dunedin, FL

Clearwater Harbor Marina under the bridge

Tuesday after arriving we washed the salt off the boat and tried to relax the balance of the day. Being awake for 36 or so hours is more difficult as we get older, it tends to mess up our schedules for a couple of days, I think we are finally back to normal today. 

Wednesday we rented a car and drove to Sarasota to see Mom, always a highlight in our adventures. We talked all afternoon and had supper later with Fred and Mary, Carol’s sister. A very pleasant relaxing day, we are also working out our float plan for the next several weeks.

Today, Thursday, we returned the rental car after a short walk on Clearwater beach and a shopping trip at Publix. Then moved the boat from Clearwater Harbor to Marker 1 Marina in Dunedin. The people here are fantastic, very accommodating and helpful offering services that are not usually found at a marina.

Nice Homes on the Intracoastal

We will keep the boat here for the next couple of weeks while we visit Florida family and return to Racine for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Wind continues to be a big issue here, the front passed and a high pressure is located off the east coast pushing gale force winds from the east into the Gulf. We are on the western shore and are somewhat protected from the eastern wind but we are putting out extra fenders and mooring lines to be sure we stay safe. The wind will subside tomorrow and we expect some rain the next couple of days.

We may blog over the next couple of weeks if we have something to share and will resume in earnest on December 4^th when we return from our Thanksgiving break.  We have a lot to be thankful for, hope you do too.

Some might be affordable??
