We unloaded the motorcycle this morning because we wanted to do some shopping and also because we wanted to go for a ride. We are now in central west coast Florida and it's time to slow down and stay somewhere for awhile. We had made inquiries at Marker 1 Marina in Dunedin (just north of St Pete) and wanted to stay there for a month. When we had called last month, they were unable to take a reservation as far out as we had called and it was basically a first come first served basis. We decided to ride down to Marker 1 and check the place out to know if we wanted to stay. When we arrived the place is pretty big and we liked the feel and location. It's very close to Dunedin which has lots of shopping and restaurants and it's also close to Honeymoon Beach State park and the causeway leading over to the park. Not too far to the airport in Tampa and we liked the dock that was available. Also the price is right $11.00 a foot a month including power and cable TV. They have a small pool and we think we will be happy.

After we had made the arrangements we rode back north to Tarpon Springs and stopped off at West Marine to make some purchases. The things I wanted they didn't have in stock so I ordered them online and I will pick them up on Friday as they are having a 10% off sale Thursday and Friday. We stopped at Ace hardware and bought some screws to complete the assembly of the chairs we recovered last week then off for lunch. When we went to Costa's last night I forgot my hat and the food was very good so guess what, we went back for lunch. Debbie had a shrimp souvlaki and I had a pork souvlaki along with a (wait for it) Greek salad and 4 sangrias. I told Debbie many times through dinner how happy I was to be in Florida and know where we would be for the next month. I'm sure after two weeks I will be ready to move on but maybe not, it just feels good. Debbie walked across the street to the Greek bakery and bought two Baklavas for us to enjoy when we got back to the boat.
We went back after lunch and made a grocery list and rested for a bit. We ate half of the Baklava and then it was off to the grocery store. On the way we passed the dog park and I thought it might be fun to take Abby over to play tomorrow. We got everything back on the boat and we had planned on going out for dinner at Rusty Bellies but both of us were too full and decided we would go to Rusty Bellies for lunch tomorrow instead.
We watched a movie The Double with Topher Grace and Richard Gere. Not bad..... then off to bed. Tired!
