We ordered supplies to be shipped in to St Pete Municipal Marina, so we need to wait out the week. So, everyday we embarked on a small boat project and then hit the sights of St. Pete. Sunday was a bike ride on the Pinellas Trail, a 20 mile ride in 40 knot winds to Indian Rocks Beach. Due to the winds, it took almost 3 hours. But here we met friends on my sister, Phyllis, who sent our mail with them. It turned out that 5 of 7 days were very heavy winds, so it was okay to be in port for awhile. Other days included the following: the Salvador Dali museum, Detroit Tigers spring training against the world cup winning Netherlands, the Boyd Hill preserve, the Vinoy Hotel, and a visit to the white sands of St Pete beach. The biggest boat project was rebuilding the windlass to get ready for some anchoring in warm weather. The first pic is the spring baseball game and then a shot of St Pete’s beach with its white sands and clear water. The final pic shows the outside of the Dali museum (no pics allowed inside), that displayed 96 paintings of the artist. We took 3 tours of his works, what an artist!
