Thank You Blenker’s Marina : Good Bye Now

We were at Blenker’s Marina in Bradenton (south of Tampa) for almost a month and most days were filled with a variety of tasks completed in a somewhat leisurely fashion. Occasionally we'd venture out into town to gather supplies, do laundry and find internet access. And then there were a handful of days spent sailing, the best days of all. We are grateful for our time there, the kind people we met, the long list of repairs and additions we were able to complete, and the shakedown sails we took in Tampa Bay.   

Now we’re ready to move on though, and explore the Gulf Coast and the Florida Keys. We’re in search of warmer weather, clearer water and successful fishing. Not to mention, we just want to go sailing everyday. Lil’ G is looking superb and we’re more than ready with an ample amount of delicious food, a hefty stock of beer and one hell of a crew... 

Adam (my amazing husband) the captain, mast climber, fixer of everything, navigator of the sea and crafty chef.

 

Me...the co-captain and the smiler. Oh, and the coffee brewer.

Mack Talley (our amazing friend) the sailor in training, natural fisher and dance move master.

And so our journey south begins...wish us luck!
