Boca Grande to Sarasota

Stacy's brother Alan met us in Boca Grande as he was traveling to south Florida on business and we had dinner at the Pink Elephant restaurant.

We left Boca Grande and arrived in Sarasota on Monday. Alan was staying in Sarasota for a few days so we met up with him again after we arrived here.

While we were visiting with Alan, Bill & Ellen figured out the local bus system and introduced themselves to another couple on their boat who are also traveling on the loop. We all got together on our boat for snacks and talked about our collective travels.

Later yesterday I decided to dive under our boat to check our zincs and just have a look around since the water here is the clearest we have seen. I replaced the zincs on each shaft and noticed that the lock nut on one of the props was loose so I went back down with a pipe wrench and a block of wood to tighten the prop nuts. I guess it was a good thing I dove down to check the zincs as a loose prop would have been a potential disaster.
