Before leaving Tarpon Springs, we motored up the river to see the fishing and sponge boats. Here we also saw the many Greek restaurants and souvenir shops. Next it was on to the GIWW for the boating trip to the Tampa/St. Petersburg area. We had great weather for this trip. Enroute we dropped anchor and prepared a late lunch. After discussing our options, we decided to bypass Tampa/St. Petersburg and instead move on to the Manatee River. We saw many fabulous homes and we had a good view of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. After crossing the Tampa Bay, we turned into the the Manatee Riveer and motored to Regatta Pointe Marina in Palmetto. The last 7 to 8 miles were in the dark. Since the marina staff had gone home, we took the boat to the fuel dock, tied-up, and went to a nearby restaurant for our evening dinner. Eight years ago, Thressa and I came to this marina to take ownership of our boat.
