Monday December 3rd was a very busy day cleaning the vinyl covers on IE. Nana also happened to catch a yoga class at Pineapple studio which was a geart experience- a lovely Italian instructor from Milan with one on one instruction - the best. The bike ride over the bridge was tough on the way back with the wind! Now Nandad always seems to do great work from the cockpit so when Nana returned he had rented a car and arranged for a diver to come clean the bottom of the boat. We took a wonderful ride to Siesta beach , however the red tide had a strong presence which caused Nandad to cough quite a bit so Nana finished her stroll on the beach which really has this amazing sand that almost feels as soft as putty. Nana forgot to put her smile on at the beach!!Again we had a wonderful dinner at BKYC to finish the evening.
December 4th Tuesday Ireland’s Eye makes the short cruise to Longboat Key Club Moorings. This is a private club which is reciprocal with the Yachting Club of America so officially our 4th club to visit. There is a 291 slip Marina with a Yacht Club, Golf & Tennis Club, dockside dining, swimming pool, and resort amenities which include The Spa, The Fitness Center and a pristine white - sand beach. You can pick from seven different type restaurants on this compound with a shuttle service to take you back and forth. They also have Firepit Beach Barbecue events, Beach Olympics, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve special celebrations. Enough entertainment to keep you dizzy. A wonderful plunge in the pool followed by a great dinner at Portifino which is directly beside IE.
Tomorrow IE has reservation at the SPYC so onwards and upwards as we continue to cruise up north.
December 5th a very windy day so Nana and Nandad decide to stay. The shuttle service takes us over to the Longboat Key Resort which is at the Beachside. It is way too windy to attempt a walk along the beach so we have a delicious breakfast. When we return to the boat it is the perfect day to change all the covers on the salon. A nice new look. Lots of walking today with great dinner onboard.
