ON TO VENICE (FL)

DAY 187, JAN. 21, 2012
AM 70*. CLEAR SUNNY, WIND S 10K
DEP. MOORE’S 09:00, ARR. VENICE  1:50
D. 28 SM / 3404
 We left the Stone Crab dock with John and Lydia for the cruise south to Venice.  It was a perfect blue skies day.  We decided to take the intracostal which was very enjoyable.  We saw dolphins swimming along side of us. Beautiful homes were everywhere.  The Sarasota sky line was impressive.  We also enjoyed all of the natural beauty of the area, the bird rookeries and mangrove islands.  Lydia enjoyed the swing bridge and the draw bridge as seen from a boat.  All to quickly we were in Venice Harbor and looking for our marina.  After a short stop at Marine Max we headed to Marker 4 Fisherman’s Wharf Marina as it was more convenient to town and the beach.  We quickly settled in and were picked up that evening by John for dinner at John and Lydia’s home.  John and Gail Densler were also invited.  The six of us caught up on all our news and had a grand time.  The perfect ending to a perfect day.
