We’ve really enjoyed our three day stay in Sarasota – Marina Jack is a very modern marina conveniently located downtown on Sarasota Bay. The weather has been perfect! We were able to visit the lovely Ringling Museum as well as the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. We explored the waterfront on our bikes and even stopped for a touristy photo. We topped it all off with a memorable Cuban dinner at Mirna’s Cuban Cuisine.

Tomorrow we’re off to Cape Haze Marina and then off to Boca Grande. I hope to have some Florida beach time soon. Until next time – sweet dreams!

    Great photos along with the updates, Betty. May all that’s good get even better as you & Capt. Rob cruise on to the next port.
