Day 160 – at Burnt Store Marina, Charlotte Harbor - December 13, 2011

We are here at Burnt Store Marina for a second day.  We spent the day relaxing and we took a walk around the facilities at Burnt Store.  The marina is part of a 626-acre gated community with estate homes, single family residences, condominiums, villas and high-rise homes.  There are also tennis courts, a fitness center, a golf course and a yacht club.  This is a beautifully protected harbor and would be a great place to keep a boat in Florida.

This harbor, as well as many along this coast of Florida, is a protected manatee area.  We looked for manatees, but didn’t see any.  We did however see some very disturbed water (swirling mud and strange looking currents) that we suspect indicates a manatee was swimming below.
