Dec 18, 2014 De Soto Point, Manatee River

Nice little anchorage by this historical point.  As soon as Rich finishes installing the new filters for the water maker, we get to do one of my most favorite things, A DINGY ride to the shore.  There is a nature walk and all, plus new doggy friends to meet.  I guess this guy DeSoto discovered this place, so I am sure that Rich will have to stop and read all the placards about it...I would rather just smell my way around.  Rich says we are going to Sarasota tomorrow, so watch us on SPOT.  We are taking our time because we have a regulator/controller for our wind generator being sent to our friend's house in Punta Gorda.  It is coming from Montreal, so with customs and Xmas mail, it may take awhile.  Meanwhile I guess we will take our time and enjoy the west coast of Florida.
