On the East Coast of Florida

We've made it to Fort Lauderdale on the east coast of Florida.  Thanksgiving was spent in Cedar Key, Florida which is a very laid back fishing/claming town.  They actually have private clam farms that the residents farm and sell the clams commercially.  The first two photographs are of Cedar Key.  We took a key tour by water in order to get a better idea of where things were.  The weather was sunny and in the upper 60's but it was nice to have a sweatshirt out on the water.

The third photo is off the pier in downtown St Petersburg, Florida.  There was a light wind with several boats in the water, but most were heading for the dock since it was just starting to get dark.  Lots of activity around the pier.  We bought a "Napolean and an Eclair" for our dessert.  They were great!!

Today we went from St Pete to Fort Lauderdale and then tomorrow we'll be headed for Key Largo.  Probably won't get to the boat tomorrow, but will for sure on Monday.  They only have temporary staff there on the week-ends anyway.  I made plans to have the bottom of the boat repainted, so I hope it's all done when we get there.  I have several projects that I want to do, so we'll be busy for at least the next week or so.  We have a small condo lined us for accommodations while we work on the boat.
