Leaving Sarasota, Back to Bradenton 3/23


Monday, March 23, leaving Sarasota, and heading back to Bradenton.

At 7:35, the lines were pulled in, and Sea Fever headed into Sarasota Bay.  We waved goodbye to Marina Jack’s, the cappuccino bar, and Kathy’s ring, and set our sights on Bradenton, once again. It was a beautiful day. There were only two bridges that needed to be lifted. And we made good time.
Again, we were surprised at our assigned slip.  The past few times in Bradenton, Sea Fever was in the same slip.  This time we were almost 2 blocks from the marina office (and the bathrooms and showers!) The dock boys were there to help us dock Sea Fever, the winds were in our favor, and it was a text book docking.  Which was extra nice as an audience had gathered. It always seems that there are audiences only for the disastrous dockings.  One our newest dock mates commented “It looks as though you have done this before”.  Kathy responded “Once. Or twice!”

We got settled in, decided it was too hot to deflate the dingy, headed to get some dinner, and settled in for the night.
