We are staying at anchor for a few days, Recovering from the trip, and doing some sightseeing. Yesterday, we took the Jolly Trolley to Tarpon Springs. Susan loves Aphrodite hand cream that is sold at a Sea Sponge store there. It is made with Olive oil, and lasts a long time on your hands.
The Jolly Trolley is a shuttle that takes you anywhere on the Treasure Coast for 5.00 a day, or 30.00 for a one week pass. Good deal! In this area there are a lot of Ontario residents escaping the winter. You are as likely to hear "eh" as "y'all" in the stores and busses.
it is stormy this morning, so we shall do some boat chores. This afternoon, more sightseeing.

After all the miles we have travelled since we left Aqua Yacht Harbour, we are enjoying our stay here in Clearwater. We are anchored in a very nice bay surrounded by lovely homes and some condo’s. During the daytime it feels a bit like being in a fish bowl, but after dark we only see warm glowing lights. And when the wind is blowing it feels like we are dining in a revolving restaurant as the boat swings around.
We celebrated Valentines day exchanging gifts for each other and having a yummy brunch before another day of sight seeing. We hopped on one of the city buses with the plan of going to St. Petersburg. But the bus route went through Madeira beach and we spotted a cool tourist place called “The boardwalk at John’s passage”. So we decided to check it out and were glad we did. It was filled with interesting bars, restaurants & shops. We had tasty Captains seafood plate for lunch over looking the water. A few dolphins swam by as we were eating our lunch; that was cool.
After lunch we did some more browsing in a few shops before heading back to the boat. Tomorrow we may hop on the Jolly Trolley and head to the town of Dunedin for the arts & craft fair.
