Woke up to a nice day, cloudy, rainy. Did a boat load of laundry,
all our winter clothes and a weeks worth of other clothes, sheets,
comforter etc. Done at 1300 then after speaking with Martha decided to
try for Dunedin where they were anchored. Checked out of our Marina,
with our foulies on started out the canal. Forecast of 57 degrees some
rain and 12-15 kt north winds. The farther out in the open the more it
rained and the more the wind blew. Upon reaching the ICW 4 ft waves
splashing over the starboard side of the boat and not being able to see
the marker due to rain or fog south and 20-25 kt winds out of the north
and the temp feeling less than 30's, we turned around and went back to
the marina, parking in our slip and going up to pay for another night.
Probably couldn't make it to Dunedin in those winds anyway before dark.
Went
to Hellas, a local coffee shop and Greek Pastry Shoppe to warm up and
wait for the water to drip off our foulies back at the laundry room at
the Marina. Had a wonderful Greek Cannelloni with chips of dark
chocolate in the sweet cream filling. Well worth coming back to Tarpon
Springs for. Walked back to the boat for supper while raining but
doesn't seem like it's going to freeze like out on the water.
Boats as we're coming down the canal on our way out to the GICW,fishing boats, sponge ships
