January 19th Ireland’s Eye is in Venice FL

The entrance to the Marina at Boca Grande is very intimidating when the tide is at its lowest as the photograph will show. That is part of the golf course you are looking at on the left and the sand bank on the right.


Another perfect layday today starting with Yoga followed by coffee and banana nut muffin at The Bakery. We chatted with a lovely couple from Maine who have been renting a home on Gasparilla for several years. The advantage of having no particular schedule meant we brought them back to tour IE. We then took the golf cart for a ride to check out all the beautiful homes and ended up at the Library. I have never been to a library that had an outdoor reading room.


Back to IE for lunch then Nandad drove the golf cart to the Southlight - a sprained ankle - and Nana rode her bike. A wonderful walk along the beach where we collected several shells. Dinner reservations at The Pink Elephant for 6.15 pm was simply delicious with wonderful service and excellent freshly made  berry juice cocktail. Yummy


January 19th Ireland’s Eye arrived at The Crows Nest Marina which is right beside Casey’s Pass into the Gulf about one and a half miles from the downtown of Historic Venice. Nandad immediately remembered that he was here before when he did his cruise to the dry Torgos over 20 years ago! After a bike ride downtown we wrapped up to watch the sunset from the beach. Tomorrow we will head fro Sarasota to dock at Jacks Marina.
