Our amenities at Turtle Cove, one last look for showers before departing Tarpon Springs this morning. We had lots of no wake zones today as we proceeded South through Clearwater and onto Tampa Bay. 

The Skyway bridge across Tampa Bay was impressive as we paralleled it on our way to the Riviera Dunes Marina on the Manatee River, at Palmetto. This marina boasts two swimming pools. We can’t wait to meet up with our friends Ray and Camille, together with their dog Pacman who we met way back at Portsmouth, Virginia where they were on holidays. Previous loopers they have been following our progress and suggested we meet now we are at their home town.
