Greetings from Anna Maria Island just south of Tampa Bay. I wimped out of the multi-hour trip up into Tampa Bay and opted intead to continue on a little further south. My anchorage selection was based on promises of easterly winds over the next few days. So far those winds have not manifested themselves, so the anchorage is a little rough, but I hame keeping my fingers crossed. I really need a good night's rest.
Barry continued to do his own thing. I found him shinnying either up or down the radar post; I’m not sure which. Apparently he feels he is bulletproof and is not worried about falling overboard or radiating his reproductive organs. This is not going to end well.
I’ll be checking out the weather forecast closely tonight and making a decision in the morning about the run down to Key West. A day of rest here would feel good, but one hates to miss a prime weather window.
Glad you're safe and sound. I'm sure your call to mom was the best mother's day present she had today.
ReplyDeleteAre you at a marina or anchored out? If you have an extra day of rest, you could catch the island trolley on Gulf Dr. to Mr. Bones BBQ. Yummo. http://www.mrbonesbbq.com/
