St Petersburg, FL...we must like it here!

We arrived in Clearwater tired and ready for a break.  However, we weren't into the vibe there, so we continued on after just a brief two night stay.  We anchored at Shell Key, and wouldn't you know it, we found shells there.  We were heading for the mooring field at St Petersburg Municipal Marina.  When we arrived, we new we found something special.  We ended up moving into a slip, and have enjoyed a month tied up to the docks here.

Old friends, new friends, family, perfect weather, and a truly enjoyable waterfront location.  Wow, where did the month go?

This is the resident osprey, who normally would be perched atop a sailboat mast to eat his breakfast, but this stormy morning, he chose our slip piling!

We are heading south in the morning, working our way to the Keys before it gets too warm.  What a strange turn of events to be running from warm weather already!
