A couple of days ago I spent a lazy afternoon aboard the above 50' Marine Trader Sea Spirit with some friends.
Captain John - holds a USCG Master License
An observer watching us pass from someone's seawall
Heading down the channel to open water
Getting a safety lecture from Captain John
Oh My. Check out the food!
Looking up at the bridge from the lower deck.
The lounge area below. There are also two bedrooms just as lovely.
The lower pilot area. For rainy days.
Me and a diva friend. I'm the one in the hat with...of course...a macaw attached! She is a super art instructor!
Part of the "crew" having fun. Check out her glitter and fuzzy cup holder.
A small seabird sanctuary island we passed.
Some show off guys who just wanted to make a big wake.
A really fun part of the "crew". Trust me, they are! Wearing my 'caw hat for the pic because her straw hat blew overboard. I was up front at the time and saw it floating by. Is blew a word?
Me and another friend. OMG Where's my hair...I'm bald!
This bridge is opening for us. When the new one is completed (you can see it above the opening one) it will be high enough so it won't have to open.
Coming through!
These itsy bitsy cogs operate this big bridge!
A view of Clearwater Beach in the distance
Hulk Hogan's house. Well, his wife's house now. HeeeHeeeHeee
Police patrol. Capt. John said he has been boarded three times in the Gulf because his boat is a type that brings in Haitians and Cubans illegally.
A fitting end to a perfect day.
Just another day in Paradise

I was watching a movie today about Incredible Creatures that Defy Evolution. Birds were in it
besides some other animals and the amazing things about them that could only point to a Creator.
