This is the oldest house in Tarpon Springs, built circa 1863. It has been beautifully restored.

We have had a great time so far. We crossed the Gulf of Mexico without any trouble. The seas ran only 3-4 feet and the winds were favorable at first then nonexistent. Once the wind died we turned to the engine. It took about 27 hours which is about 9 hours faster than our last crossing. The sailing pictures here are of our crossing companion, Mariah. She is a beautiful Catalina 320 owned by Suz and Sam Weston. This trip they are joined by able crew Dianna and Jerry Moore.

Some of the other pictures are from our time spent in Tarpon Springs. This is a wonderful little town with so much history and culture. We had fun touring the town on the trolley then by foot. There is a large Greek population that has managed to maintain its culture and language to this day. The town is most know for its thriving sponge diving operations. We highly recommend this place to anyone out to see authentic, pre-devoloper Florida.
