Two days, three nights and a great time in Sarasota. We caught up with friends (Stacey and Norm), went to the beach, an art festival and enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Stacey's, prepared by her mom. Homemade pizza and it was amazing! Not to mention we got some supplies, groceries and have a completely fresh start on laundry. Thanks so much to Stacey, her mom and Norm for all the ferrying around, borrowing of cars and everything else.
We pulled away from the mooring field this morning hoping to head out Big Sarasota Pass to sail south. The wind direction for the day was already looking a little iffy for traveling south (S and SE) when we chickened out getting out of the pass and across what looked to be really shallow water - breaking waves in front of us. We turned around and headed down the the intracoastal. Other than not sailing, it is a very nice drive. Pretty houses, bridges to open for us, lots of kyakers, fishermen, and birds. Meanwhile, Kaylee is working on her knot skills.
