Gulfport to Punta Gorda, Jan 5 - Feb 12


We had calm seas and fair winds to cross Tampa Bay . . . .

. . . . but it was soooo C-O-L-D the crew had to bundle up!




Spiritus is humbly tucked in at Sarasota's Marina Jacks between all the big yachts!



The Captain loves having the morning paper tossed on the deck of Spiritus each morning!





The adjacent Bayshore Park provides a beautiful setting for morning and evening walks . . . . 

. . . . and conveniently leads to the Tiki Bar with live music and adult libations!




Spiritus requests her last bridge opening on the west coast of Florida.





As soon as the anchor is set at Manasota Key, the crew launches the dinghy and motors to Englewood Beach . . . .

. . . . to enjoy live music and refreshments at The Sandbar Grill.





Spiritus and crew are delighted to be at Laishley Park Marina for a month of fun and Looper fellowship. 

  Gold Loopers, Mike & Veronica, visited us from North Carolina!




Sister Mary & Bro-in-law Fraser treated the Birthday Girl to a special evening.




The frosting on the carrot cake survived the heat from ALL the candles!!




An amazing concert at the Civic Center!
  Rumours, a Fleetwood Mac tribute band, blew us away.





And it IS the First Mate's birthday month . . . .

. . . . so ice cream is a near-daily indulgence!
