Still here at Turtle Cove Marina in Tarpon Springs. Still rainy and very cool.
During the afternoon, Sun Gypsy and Blue Moon got a cab and went out to US 19 to the WalMart, Staples, West Marine and CVS. I got my prescriptions that were finally transferred from a Rite Aid in Montgomery to the CVS here in Tarpon Springs. Thank you Melissa in Montgomery for helping! We had several light bulbs go out on Blue Moon, so I got some replacements at West Marine and at the Radio Shack next door. Our salon is brighter now, as is the engine room! We all got some provisions at WalMart.
Tonight we met Looper friends Ron and Jan from "Adagio" up here in Tarpon Springs for dinner. Ron and Jan are Harbor Hosts in Dunedin, which is about 10 miles South of here. We have traveled with them some and they were at Kingston, NY last Summer when the Erie Canal was closed. Sun Gypsy and Free at Last were also in Kingston, so we wound up hanging out together. We had 10 people at dinner with Blue Moon, Adagio, Sun Gypsy, Free at Last, and Attitude Changer all enjoying an excellent meal at Costas' right up the street from the Marina. I thought it was better than Mama's where we ate on our first night in Tarpon. It is a much smaller, more intimate family restaurant, and the Greek food was really good.
Tomorrow we think the rain will stop and we will try more exploring around town. We have also crafted our tentative itinerary for the rest of the trip. We have made the decision not to take Blue Moon to the Keys this Spring. Rather, we will go back to Jacksonville through the Okeechobee Waterway and across Lake Okeechobee. We will spend several days in each of Bradenton, Sarasota, Captiva, Ft. Meyers, Daytona Beach/Ponce Inlet and be back in Jacksonville around March 1, give or take a few days.
Thanks for Reading!
