Behind the scenes
Checking the twin Cummins before cruising. |
This is what Sea Jamm is made of. |
Had to say goodbye to our Looper buddies and head south.
Early in the morning. Have you ever seen a pelican in a tree?? |

Five hour cruise today. The first part across Tampa Bay was rocking and rolling. Contemplating the tossing waves, I decided it was a bit like life. The waves don't change. It is how you turn and the speed you travel that determine the comfort. Sometimes you have to alter your course or slow down to make it tolerable. Remembering the night Gulf crossing, I also believe it is most uncomfortable in the dark. And, in the dark, sometimes you can't tell which way the waves are tossing, so you don't know how to correct the course.
In the middle of the bay, I spotted a shark. At first, I thought it was a dolphin,
but it continued on it's course uninterrupted. That's when I began to hear the Jaws soundtrack.
Marina Jack, Sarasota
I could live here or at least put down roots for awhile! This marina was voted #1 national marina in 2015. I can understand why. Downtown wasn't bad either!
