What a treat it was to be out of the rain last night… 6 inches in 3 hours should certainly help the drought in this area! After doing laundry duty, we drove north to Sarasota. That is where Brother Bob’s boat is moored, and what a boat it is! It’s 42 feet of classic luxury with varnished teak and all the trimmings. We climbed on board, leisurely spending a few hours playing the role of Florida fat cats but without the money to afford the captain or the fuel. Then it was off to St. Petersburg to see our good friend, Dick, whom we had known from Oxy days, our time in New York, and almost a neighbor in California. He and his partner, Jim, have a lovely condo with incredible views of the bay.
It’s been about 28 years since we’ve seen Dick so there was lots of catching up to do. They took us for a drive on St. Pete Island just in time to catch an exquisite sunset. A seared ahi tuna and crabcake dinner completed a terrific day.
