January is coming to a close and we are spending our last days in Sarasota.
Every Saturday Sarasota has a wonderful farmers market that is several
blocks long. These are pictures from our visit this morning. Tasty
treats and wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables! Love it!
This week we met Karl and Karen from Tortuga Azul for lunch at C’est La Vie.
We had met them up on Lake Barkley in September. They were bringing
their boat down from their marina in Milwaukee. They now will live year
round in Osprey, FL just 10 miles south of Sarasota. We had a great
visit and they were kind enough to drive us to their home to cut a
couple of pieces of scrap lumber for Ken to finish his battery project!
They live in a lovely development with a great marina! We did a couple
errands on the way back to the boat and we so appreciated their taxi
service.
Yesterday Jean and Ron came to have lunch and tour the 20BUCK$. Jean is the
sister of my good friend Judi and she and Ron are spending 6 weeks on
Anna Marie Island. It was so nice to see friends from home! I told
Jean I would make her famous on the internet!!
We have enjoyed our stay in
Sarasota but are really ready to get moving again. We will leave on
Monday to head towards Ft. Myers to visit with friends from our marina
for a couple days. We will stop a couple spots on the way down to
anchor in a particularly beautiful area and spend a night at Cabbage
Key, only reachable by boat.
We will then head south to Marathon in the Keys where we will spend the rest of February!
These feathered friends have been our
constant companions since we arrived in Florida waters. I am sure they
will continue to keep us company as we head further south!
We love hearing from friends and family at home so if you have a free moment drop us an email and tell us what you are up to!
