17 Apr 13

After a healthy breakfast, I went for an early haircut and Terri had a quick shop at Whole Foods. Then, we departed for Venice, FL. Sam and Pat got a berth at the Venice Yacht Club, via a friend of theirs, but we could not get in, so we went another 3 miles, and two bascule bridges, further south on the ICW and spent the night at Marine Max Marina. We have now logged more than 1000 N-miles since we departed Clear Lake on 5 Feb 13. We were invited for dinner at VYC, so we dinghied back up to meet them. Having consumed a small libation or two during dinner, and it being well past dark when we finished, we got a ride back to our marina and left the dink overnight with Sam and Pat.
