Ahoy All:

   Docked for a  couple of days in Dunedin, FL, a few miles north of Clearwater and a few miles south of Tarpon Springs.  The municipal marina is very inexpensive (90 cents/ft., including elec.) and is right at the foot of Main St.; lots of stores, restaurants, parks, walking/biking trail, etc. close by.
   Good weather, as usual the past week or so.  Shawna stopped by for a visit yesterday and will spend the weekend with Susie this coming weekend when we dock in Clearwater Beach.
   We plan to spend a night or two at Caladesi St. Park, on the Gulf, which has one of the top-10 rated beaches in the country.  Probably we'll do that next week.  I wonder if I could watch the sunrise up out of the Atlantic Ocean at Okracoke Island NC (another "top-10 beach") one morning, fly over to Tampa, and watch the sunset into the Gulf at Caladesi?  A fantasy Dr. Tom would enjoy.
   Rich Azzarelli will drive me to the airport Friday so I can get up to Long Island for a wedding.
   Diesel fuel was under $2/gal with BoatUS discount yesterday at Clearwater Municipal Marina.
   We took a couple of pix of alligators along the shore of Lake Okeechobee, but I think I forgot to attach them to a previous email.  Oh well.
