The first stop on our February cruise was to Marina Jack in Sarasota, Going to Marina Jack were Cookin’ (Brent & Susan Cook), Top Shelf (Mike & Maria Adamson), Karine (Bob & Sandy LaMontagne), O Sea D (Vern & Ann Graham) Aurevoir Y’all (Mike & Jeanette Hale) and Little Suzy (George & Suzy Koprash).
All 6 of the boats made a successful trip to Sarasota and had a blast touring local attractions and dining in the many fine restaurants in town, including a great group dinner at Hyde Park Steakhouse and a birthday dinner for Suzy Koprash at Element.
After a five-day stay in Sarasota, we all headed across Tampa Bay to the St. Pete Municipal Marina. This marina is right in the heart of downtown St. Pete making everything within walking distance. As you’ll see from the photos, the nighttime skyline is just beautiful.
Of the six boats at St. Pete, three of the smaller boats departed our 4-night stay a day early due to rough seas forecast for departure day. O Sea D and Aurevoir Y’all headed back to Marco and Cookin’ headed to the Naples Sailing & Yacht Club.
On Sunday Karine, Little Suzy and Top Shelf met up with Cookin’ at Naples City Dock for the last night of a great cruise. George and Suzy hosted all of us on their new 80’ Lazarra for a great Super Bowl Party. In addition to us, 8 boaters, the Hales rejoined us by car and we also got to meet Brad and Tanya Henderson who have now applied for MBYC membership. Our thanks to George and Suzy for hosting a great party and arranging for a fantastic game.
On Monday, everyone except Karine headed home. Karine spent one more night at City Dock so they could explore Naples.
Our next cruise is March 11-19 to Tween Waters and Pink Shell. We hope you can plan to join us for one of our great adventures on the water.
