Twin Dolphin Marina, Bradenton, Florida

Just after I made the blog entry last night, a lady from a neighbouring boat came by with wonderful home-baked cookies, just to say welcome to the dock. She said she normally does this, but we arrived, then immediately left to go home, then came back and moved the boat to Snead Island, so this was her first chance to treat us. Too bad we are leaving, people are very friendly here.
The wind died down last night, still a breeze this morning but not bad. Cooler than the past few days, but much warmer than at home which apparently is in the midst of a cold spell. Went to the Baptist church this morning with Nancy and Eddie. The service consisted of great music, and a 1/2 hour sermon. Friendly people, big church. We went out for lunch after church, then went for a walk along the river walk. Sunny and warm enough that I had to take my coat off. A sailboat came into the marina this evening, apparently it is quite windy out in Tampa Bay.
Dinner tonight with Nancy and Eddie, Nancy had bought some crab claws at the market yesterday so she and I ate them, the men ate chicken. The stone crab was really good. It had been pre-cooked before she bought it, so easy to serve.
We plan to move on to Venice tomorrow, then on to Fort Myers later in the week. Today it was 10 degrees warmer in Fort Myers than here, so moving south seems like a good idea.
