Visitors!

My sister, Beth, and her two friends, Barbara and Kathy were in Florida at Kathy's house and drover over to see us today. Barbara was Beth's very good friend (Barb Early) way back in high school in Des Moines Iowa. They stopped at the Sarasota Botanical Gardens before coming here, and Bath just loves all things botanical.

It was a beautiful day, so we went out for a cruise in the harbors and ICW for a couple hours. This is Marina Jacks Marina, seen coming back in. The dolphins cooperated nicely by surfing our wake in one of the wider bays once and surfing and jumping for Beth and her friends on the way back.



Then we went to Mortons, a local high end version of Whole Foods, and got stone crab claws and a couple nice salads to eat on the aft deck during sunset. Overall, a very nice day, and nice to have Beth visit, and of course, Daisy recognized her as "one of the pack" instantly.


Tomorrow, our cruising buddies, Bill & Jane Stone are coming to Sarasota or Longboat Key. We plan to do the Gulf crossing with them next week from Clearwater to Carabelle.
