Day 154 – at Clearwater Beach Municipal Marina, Clearwater, FL - December 7, 2011

Frank and Carrie from Once  Around rented a car today and we joined them on a trip to Tarpon Springs.  The plan was to sample some Greek food and check out the sponge docks.  We did both those things along with a bit of shopping (as well as a trip to West Marine and the grocery store).  We even bought some sponges from the Sponge Diver Supply store – for those of you familiar with Mike Roe and the show Dirty Jobs, you may remember that a Dirty Jobs episode was filmed here.   It was a great day, although the weather turned nasty in the afternoon and went from shorts weather to what felt like blustery winter weather in just a few short hours.  We got back to Boreas and had to re-tie some docklines to keep the boat safely in the slip and off the pilings.
