At 9:15 AM we said goodbye again to M/V Stardust and helped
them untie their lines. The weather prediction
for a Gulf crossing is good so they are headed offshore to Clearwater. We will not see them again until February
when they return to Clear Lake, Texas. Josh and I got on our bikes, rode over and
picked up Barb and Barry and headed out for a nice breakfast. After breakfast we took our dinghies through
a canal subdivision, looking at all the houses and boats and then we dinghied over
to St Andrew’s State Park (the part that you can only get to by boat). We walked the beach, picked up some shells and
sand dollars and also got an unbelievable show from a pod of dolphins playing
offshore before heading back to pack up everything for our departure, bouncing back
to Texas starting tomorrow. One thing that
we’ve noticed from the time we entered Florida is that the food in grocery
stores is more expensive than Texas and a lot of businesses are closed and many
homes are empty. It looks like Florida
is not doing too well!
