The Beach at Palm Island

White Pelecans - Florida snow

Holiday Sunsets

This view is off our aft starboard side from the upper screened porch. View over the intercoastal just south of the ferry to Palm Island. Note the abnormal high tide which was 1 to 3 feet above normal due to the storms in the Gulf.

Home for the Holidays

Twins is now tucked in to our Home for the Holidays and will be posting pics of the grand twins.

We are at Palm Island Marina and have a place for the holidays on Palm Island.

Happy Holidays

Spent a night at the free dock in Venice with Mint Julep.
Windy and rainy so the dock was a welcome friend.

Low bridge!

The operator has to walk to the center of the bridge to operate it.

Anchorage nearby and a free dock with dinner....crab claws of course!

Free Docks...

Boy, it doesn't get any better than a free dock at a friend's house on the ICW....the pool was particularly refreshing after being up for 24 hours and baking in the hot sun.

Sunrise and Crab Pots...but the fog lifted!

Settling in for a long night!

Heading out to sea.

Meeting the 90 foot Research Vessel in the fog, passing in the channel.
