​Ticket To Ride

Sarasota & Family

12/1/2018

After our big day crossing the Gulf Thursday, we got back on the ICW Friday and headed to Sarasota.  It was only 46 miles to Sarasota but it was going to be no wake most of the way as it would be winding through Clearwater, St. Pete and other communities and islands along the coast.  We were on a mission to get there since Tom's sister Liz and her husband, Steve have recently moved there and we had plans to meet up.  We were really looking forward to seeing family again.
Our ride was awesome.  The homes and marina's along the way were beautiful.  We arrived at Marina Jack in Sarasota about 3pm,  re-fueled, pumped out, found our slip, rinsed the salt off Bella (again) and met up with the Holzers.  They took us to there new home in Sarasota.  Great new place.  We had some laughs catching up at dinner.  Great to see them!

Dinner out with the Holzers. So great to see them in their new home in Sarasota. A wonderful new adventure for them.

Are Steve and Liz retired and living the life of leisure in Florida? I'll be lucky to get off the farm.....

Hey Suz! It is a great marina! We loved it but were only there overnight. We were on a mission to get to Fort Myers so no breakfast at First Watch :(
