Sarasota, FL - Until April 25th, 2007

Hi Everyone, We are staying at Marina Jack's in Sarasota, FL in slip H20 until April 25th.
Our goals for this visit is to get our condo in a nice live-able condition. This is alot like work. We get up Monday's thru Saturday at 6:30 am and leave the boat by 7:30 am and go to the condo and work until 3pm. Buster and Sara stay on the boat (napping).
On Sunday's we'll take the day off from working on the condo and probably work on the boat.....

We're also cleaning out the boat again, yes this is the way it is with a boat. You keep cleaning it out. We still have way too much stuff on the boat. We're looking for simpler. Less is best.

We also plan to attend the Mirage Seminar (going by car to and from Gainesville). We're also planning a boat warming party on April 15th. I probably won't post again until after the party. Then I can include pictures of the party. Anyone local to Sarasota that knows us is invited - just call me for the details.

Sarasota, FL - We've Arrived!!!!

I'm attaching a Sanibel Sunset that Wink took......

Hi Everyone! We made a transit from Sanibel Island to Stump Pass on Tuesday, March 20th.

While we were in the Gulf, we decided to stop and drift fish for about an hour hoping to catch some Grouper.

We did catch some fish from the Grouper family, but it's not you average grouper, it's called Sand Perch (we're used to called them Squirrell Fish). We caught over a dozen which is just enough for dinner and maybe a lunch. They are not very large fish, but they sure are tasty.

We anchored overnight in Lemon Bay which is just north of Stump Pass. This is the same location that Forever 39 and John Henry anchored on their way north. We left Lemon Bay on Wednesday morning and arrived in Sarasota about 2:30 in the afternoon with very high winds just as we wanted to anchor. Wilma and the dogs went ashore to retrieve the car with helps from our friend Morgan (thanks for always being around).

On the return to John Henry, Brooke took this family portrait for us. Brooke and Dee are here for a few days and then they are heading south on Saturday. I
