We had a nice pleasant little sail down to Clearwater Beach Florida, where we made good use of the free town docks.
I carried our laundry down to the full service laundromat. While that was being taken care of, My lovely wife and I had a late lunch/early dinner at Cooters. It's a dog friendly restaurant, so that works out well for us.
After our meal I carried the gas cans down the road a few blocks to a corner gas station. Beats the heck out of marina prices.
Once the laundry was done, we motored across town to the other free docks. From there I hiked over to Publix and stocked up on some much needed groceries. We weren't going hungry, but our menus were getting a bit weird.
Check out the osprey nest, complete with bird, on the ICW channel marker.
We have the boat tucked away down the end of a protected channel as rough weather is coming in.

Glad you got to restock.publixs can be a bit pricey but the fresh baked bread cant be beat for turning a plain sandwich into a good meal.A rotisserie chicken and a loaf of sourdough for 12 bucks and makes 2 meals for 2.Life is about good fun,friends and food enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gary! When down south I do like to shop a Publix. However, while on the water, I'll shop anywhere I can.
DeleteWhat a great treat to see the osprey! Any little ones in the nest?
ReplyDeleteNot that I could see.
DeleteGetting gas away from a dock you'll find much better prices. I miss having a Publix grocery store close by. Since we left the east coast, were stuck with WalMart or Crest grocery stores.
ReplyDeleteWalmart is not my first choice -or my second. Back home I often shop at a little IGA..
DeleteGlad you are finding some pet friendly places to eat...bet the pup is too!
ReplyDeleteShe sure loves those places. They treat her like a queen.
