Slept in late this morning - do you see a trend here. After breakfast, we took off for Clearwater Beach Marina. The wind was light from the east so we went out into the Gulf and anchored for lunch just offshore of Caladesi Island. We were enjoying a nice afternoon nap when a TV helicopter flew overhead, and then circled us 11 times (I counted). There had been radio calls all day from the Coast Guard to be on the look-out for a blue-hulled sail boat with 2 adults and 2 kids, considered to be armed and dangerous. These guys must have thought they had a scoop, but finally gave up and left. After we got into Clearwater, which is a bit of a tourist trap, we went for a walk along the Gulf side beach and out on the pier, then went for dinner at the Salt Water Cafe.
