Febr. 6, 2014 Thursday Venice, Florida

Decided to stay another night here at Crow's Nest.  Bob and Martha went with their friends and after doing chores around the boat all morning we decided to finally do that bike ride we had talked about this early morning.  Jeff a blind guy riding a motorized bike.  He's amazing,  So is Judy, telling him where stop signs are and cars coming, quite an amazing couple. Rode on some off road and bike path, saw their painted dolphins from a fundraiser last year.  Had a great lunch and rode out to Sharky's pier and Restaurant.  Saw them catching fish off the pier and watched the sun start to go down.  Had to ride our bikes back to the boats before dark.  Later went to the beach in the dark with our dock drinks and a bowl of popcorn, we're gonna find shark's teeth for sure with our flashlights.  Waves were slamming against the rocks and spraying up high.  Moon was just enough to make the top of the wave shine before it broke into the white frothy water.  Somehow the water came up under my capris pants get the front and the back wet, also splashed up against me getting the outside wet.  We had a ball looking for shells and shark's teeth by flashlight, found a huge clam shell real thin shell and colorful.  We found cute shells and got soaked, Judy up the side of her shirt but was good to giggle and get wet on the beach.  Went back for a nice warm shower even though the ocean/gulf water felt warm.  Good night sleep once again. 
 Rode our bikes out to Sharky's Restaurant out on the Gulf with a long pier that people could fish off of, these are some of the fish they were pulling in.  They told us the long thin one was a Mackerel, not sure what else.
 Birds were used to getting fed after they cleaned their fish, waiting for fish bait, shrimp.
