Three days ago Craig and I headed to Sanibel Island, one of my favorite spots in Florida. It was a warm and sunny day and we just hung out at the beach the full day. Sanibel has great shell picking beaches and lots of sea birds. We left the island in time to watch the sunset on the causeway before we headed back.
Saturday all of us headed to Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota to meet up with our Cambridge Bay friends Bernie and Al. We did take a few minutes to stop and visit the manatees at Manatee Park. After a short stay we were on the road again. It was the first time visiting Sarasota for both Craig and I and the beach is rated one of the top beaches in the USA. The pure quartz is pulverized to a fine powder and no matter how hot it is outside the sand feels cool to the touch.
Yesterday Andrea had to work so she sent us on a boat to do some deep sea fishing and to bring home dinner. We have been deep sea fishing in the past and it was a blast so we thought we try it again. This day Captain Tony Fishing Adventures were just offering 1/2 day excursions so we left about 9am and we were home by 3pm. On our way out we had some dolphins playing in the wake of the boat. The boat ride out was about 1 1/2 hours and we had about 4 stops before we headed back home. Jade was the first one to catch a fish and I was the second, third and fourth. The girls ruled during this trip as we caught the most. Captain Tony's gives a great deal, for $60.00 per adult they give you the use of a fishing rod, bait and informs you if your fish is a keeper or not. The best thing is on the way back they clean your fish, bag and ice it. A sweet deal! We mostly caught grey snapper and pig fish and tonight we had a fish fry.
At midnight tonight Craig's parents arrive and tomorrow is a family day here in Florida as the following day we leave for Cambridge Bay.
Talk soon!
