We had decided to press on to the south, so naturally the wind was SE 15 - 20, but we decided to press on anyway. We motored and motor-sailed to Sarasota Bay, stopping at Longboat Key Club Moorings, which is a very nice resort facility. After getting docked just after noon, we took the free shuttle to the beach and I had my first swim in the Gulf. After an hour or so, it started to cool off, so we went back to the boat, cleaned up and went for dinner at the marina restaurant, Portofino. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling unwell; looks like I have got John’s dehydration issue.
