November 29th Sarasota Yacht Club

Nov 27th Tuesday evening reservation for dinner at the yacht club was excellent as expected. Attention to detail and personal service are a top priority here and the food is superb. Nana and Nandad enjoyed a wonderful dinner surrounded by a beautifully decorated dining room. The atmosphere was very festive. They take their Christmas decorating very seriously. 

Wednesday 28th Randy was to come today to do a full service on the engine however he had to reschedule at the last minute so true to boating style Nana and Nandad adjusted their schedule. Now the weather is a lot colder today so the electric blanket is back on the bed and the heating turned on!  Dressed appropriately we head off on the bikes to check out the local areas. We also talk with Stephanie regarding membership and were happy to hear that if we choose here for IE we can stay on the boat whenever we are here - this is different from the other two clubs who will not permit living onboard. Nana was successful in booking seats for The Music Man performing at the historic 18th century Asolo Repertory Theatre. This beautiful little theatre was brought over from Venice Italy and rebuilt at its current location. The performance was amazing. The center piece in the photo was as you walk into the theatre - the photo really does not do it justice however it gives an image. 


Nov 29th finds us waiting for Randy to show up!!! The joys of boating means you must be flexible. A beautiful sunny morning so considering Randy will be late, we bike to St Armand’s Circle and have a wonderful breakfast at Madison Avenue cafe. Any morning you wake up on a boat is a good one. Laundry once again can be done, blog written and paper read while watching the blue sky and sunshine spread over the water. The day begins to warm up nicely. Maybe today Nana will visit The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. Nana could not resist the picture below - such simplicity but so true.
