11-27-16  12-1-16   Clearwater Beach

After spending the night anchored at our little Island, we moved to Moonshine Island. Moonshine island was teaming with birds and we had looked forward to exploring it more by dinghy, but the wind switch to out of the South and it got too rough to enjoy a dinghy ride. We moved into a more protected area which happened to be right near the free day dock one block off the beach. We were able to spend every day at Clearwater beach.  The sand is clean, soft and white. Amazingly it never gets hot.

Naughty seagull. Who ever owns this blanket will be surprised that almost all their chips are gone. The Seagulls got into them. Man they caused a raucous. We hid what was left of the chips wrapped inside their blanket, but this guys was determined to get to them again.

There were these big blow up slides on the beach. Looked fun.

This was the houseboat used in the movie Dolphin Tales. (the movie about the dolphin who lost his tail) It looks like it has seen better days, but maybe it was suppose to be like that in the movie. Will have to watch it someday.

We are pretty proud of the Michigan beaches, but we have to say this beach beats it.  However, they have sand cleaning equipment that they run up and down the beach every morning.  We hit the area at the slowest two weeks of the year.  Yeah for us.  I can see why so many people vacation here every year.  Scott and I went swimming in the ocean. No sharks this time.  We could have stayed there longer but we had reservations at Marker 1 Marina in Dunedin on first for the whole month of December.

Thanks for reading!

Unique Random Picture of the day:

All the benches on Pier 60 that went out into the Gulf looked like this. We couldn't figure it out. WE cam up with the conclusion it is to prevent the homeless from sleeping there.
