On the Move Again

Eddy found a chair for Spiritus' deck.  He says it might be too big; Linda says it might be too gaudy!
 
 
 
 
If they sell it, SHE will find it!
 
 
 
 
Our friend's dog, Tater Bug, got all dressed up for their Christmas open house!
 
 
 
 
 
In Redington Beach, Santa's sleigh is sometimes pulled by dolphin . . . . . . . .
 
and other times pulled by flamingos.
 
 
 
 
Over the past month, we were "awed" by the pipe organ in the Methodist Church in Dunedin!
 
 
 
 
Linda tries to be creative with her breakfast omelet on Christmas morning!
 
 
 
 
Santa managed to find his way to Spiritus!
 
 
 
 
The Christmas dinner table is set for 24 at our friend's house in Tarpon Springs.
Lots and lots of superb food, laughter, and conversation transpired throughout the evening.
 
 
 
 
 
After the most fabulous Christmas feast we've ever had, Ruth led us in some Christmas carols!
The singing made us feel like we were back home at Mama Sally's house!
 
 
 
 
The Captain says "goodbye" to delightful Dunedin.
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Treasure Island bridge opens for Spiritus . . . . . . .
 
. . . . . . . and a pirate ship that looks a little out of place!
 
 
 
 
 
We dropped anchor for the night in front of the Don CeSar Hotel . . . . . Florida's Pink Castle!
 
Built in 1928, "The Don" was a refuge for many of the rich & famous over the years. 
 
 
 
 
 
The Captain takes his lookout duties seriously . . . . . .
 
. . . . . and watches closely as Snoopy and the MetLife blimp try to sneak up on us!
 
 
 
 
 
Nope . . . . this isn't a postcard.  Just another wonderful sunset seen from the flybridge of Spiritus!
 
 
 
An early morning view of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge as we cross Tampa Bay.
 
 
 
 
We've never seen a gathering of white pelicans like this.
  They were either having a meeting or breakfast!
 
 
 
 
 
Eddy "merrily" rows us ashore from our anchorage at Longboat Key . . . . . .
 
. . . . . so we can write all of you a special "Happy New Year" message !!!
