Miles Traveled 14.6
Total Miles Traveled 1742
Day 93,94,95

We have spent the last few days in Tarpon Springs, the Sponge Capital of the World.  In the early 1900’s sponge diving was introduced to the area and divers and crew members were recruited from Greece.  Tarpon Springs has the highest percentage of Greek Americans than any city in the United States and continues to harvest sponges from the Gulf of Mexico.  The city is also known for their many Greek restaurants and pastry shops. 






One of the divers had a familiar face?


We have been having a lot of fun playing Jenga.


Our Gulf Crossing friends on the walk back from dinner.


We went to breakfast this morning by dinghy.  We followed our new boating friends a couple of miles downriver to a restaurant, then took the scenic route back.


We arrived at Marker 1 Marina at Dunedin, Fl about 3 this afternoon.  We will be here until after the holidays visiting with family and exploring the area. We think we'll will really like the marina because they have an awesome courtesy car.


Okay, I may be exaggerating just a little…..

I think this boater is ready for Christmas.

Thanks! Not sure how you would lose the link to our blog? It sounds like the tablets may be more trouble than there worth. Hope you can get them working again.

Glad to see the trip across went smooth! When you get on the south side of Clearwater Beach there is a place called Shephard's Beach Inn and resort that you should have a drink or two at! It's boat friendly!
