Venice Yacht Club-Phase 2

Don't make me mad!!

All that action just for us

We had a nice motor-sail to the Venice Yacht Club yesterday. More emphasis on the motor. The trip up involves a lot of bridge openings to let us through. It always amazes me that our little boat can cause traffic to hold up and either a swing or draw bridge to be activated. I finally got some pictures of the pair of birds who own this yacht club. The male is especially territorial and spends most of his time puffing up and chasing away the competition. The female just wanders around the pool deck begging food. We only had one day to spend here but we did get to have dinner with Terri and Steve. Always great to see them and hopefully they can make it up our way some time. We plan to go to Sarasota YC tonight then anchor out the next few nights. With the holiday weekend coming up, there is no room at the inns. We do have reservations at the Tarpon Springs YC for Sat. We have to go in at high tide but that shouldn't be too hard. We really like the town and didn't have a chance to visit on the way down. The real world is starting to beckon so we probably won't be spending a lot of time in any one place. Of course, that could change!!
