Day 11  Bradenton  January 28, 2018


For those that know the area, and maybe from blog of our travel to Bradenton several days ago, you will note that we have back tracked north a little to stay. We were scheduled to see some boats today - that at the last minute the broker could not make it. We were somewhat annoyed, but let's make the best of it - we're retired!!!

The diamond in the rough for the situation was that, after another fine breakfast at First Watch downtown Sarasota,

we went to the location of the boats anyway as it was in a marina that we thought we should scout out. Long Boat Key Club and Marina was wonderful.

It is part a great resort on the beaches and marina members have access to all the private beaches, tennis, events and restaurants. We think we have found next winter's home!!!  We will stop back later on Monday to see if we can book a reservation!!

The village of St Armand is at the start of the Longboat Key. We enjoyed a great lunch and made it just ahead of the showers.  The gal in blue was our waitress and was in the staff pool of when it was to rain. She had 2:30 We left around 2:00 and the rain started right after - think she won.

 

Nice day even with a change of plans!!!
