December 1st while strolling the beautiful neighborhood of Bird Key Nana was reminded of two of her grandsons who are crazy about dinosaurs. Anything goes as yard decoration in Florida - a wonderful red brontosaurus right in your yard. While taking a walk on Lido beach we were exhausted watching the Kite boarders sailing along the waves - their strength and stamina was amazing to watch. Tonite is the Blessing of the fleet followed by the lighting of the boats. The dockhand offered to put lights on IE so we were very happy to oblige. The cannon was fired, the fleet blessed and the lights switched on. This was also a very formal celebration at the SYC where David and Jane invited us back to watch their celebrations which included the boys band, the pipes, Mr & Mrs Clause and many boats to visit with offerings of Procecco, candy, appetizers and of course lots of comraderie.
December 2nd Sunday started with an early morning walk, followed by a bike ride over the bridge to attend Mass at St Martha’s, a wonderful brunch at the yacht club which overlooks Sarasota’s downtown - the perfect setting- a relaxing few hours up top reading, another bike ride to St Armand’s Square to watch the sunset at the beach. The perfect warm, sunny, windy day.
