December 12, 2011Dateline: Sarasota, FL USA
Not much to report on today. I sat at the dock in Sarasota while Rich and Carol went off to explore St. Armand’s Key. That key is circular in shape and in the center is a large shopping area built around a traffic circle. I was told that it was interesting shopping and Carol did come back with some bags.
Near the water in Sarasota, there is a very large statute of a sailor kissing a nurse. The statute is based on a picture that was on the cover of Life Magazine marking the end of World War II.Sarasota seems like any other large city. There are a lot of restaurants but also a lot of empty office and some empty retail space. It is very clean.
Charlie and Sandy, who live nearby, and own a boat called ALL THAT CHAS came by for a visit. They live half way between Venice and Sarasota and Rich and Carol met them a year and a half ago. At the time they were doing the loop with MY WAY.
Tomorrow I am off to Venice a short run of again only about 20 miles.
