Art and Crafts at the Sponge Docks

Still waiting for boat repairs and enjoyed the weekend downtown at the sponge docks.

 Enjoying one of the most beautiful painted sponge boats.

 Walking around looking at the crafts.  Gary and I are in great shape by now.
Work has begun on the boat so we will be leaving here for Terra Verde hopefully in October.

Time in Tarpon Springs

We are settled in now for rudder repairs at Pitman Yacht Services.  We rented a very nice condo in the historical district and a little puddle jumper to get around.  Every day is mostly been filled with insurance paperwork and getting estimates.  We have talked about some little projects we can do while we are here but haven't had any time yet.  Much is going on with our friends and family while it seems we are stuck in a slow time warp, with nothing being accomplished.  Definitly, Gary and I are action people,  I have taken to long hikes to rest my brain.  Tarpon Springs is a beautiful, interesting place.  Tonight we have a sports bar planned to see the Alabama Game, (and maybe FSU).
