Clearwater , Florida
FOG – FOG – FOG! It was as thick as pea soup. The fog lifted and all but one of our boating friends departed by noon and moved south to different ports. It’s always sad to see close friends depart but knowing that we will reconnect in the near future lessens the pain!

Mary Holwick one of Barbs neighbors, back when she lived in LaGrange came to the boat then drove us to her home for cocktails. We met Juergen a great fellow, and once a resident of Illinois

Later in the day, we went to an excellent restaurant called “Beachcomber” where the food was superb and the surroundings matched the cuisine. At the restaurant Mary Ann Rank also a prior neighbor and her brother Dick Hyman joined us for dinner.
On our return to the boat I showed Juergen a few of our navigations aids before they departed.
Tomorrow we plan to move north to Tarpon Springs.
