Detour’s Stats for the month of January. Like a lot of people I always found January to be such a long month, but not this year! After sending New Years Day in Dunedin, we travelled to Clearwater Beach & secured dockage for 3 weeks. This enabled up to fly home for 2 weeks to see Colin’s mom & friends. On returning to Clearwater we up graded our batteries to 4 golf carts batteries. Installation, a future project, stay tuned. After Clearwater we headed to Sarasota Y. C. and visited the very impressive Ringling Compound. The facilities included a circus museum, Ringling’s Ca’ d’Zan mansion and Museum of Art, housing their vast art collection.
After Sarasota we anchored at Cabbage Key, Naples, Marco Island. Marco was fun we meet friends from home, Barb&Dan and spent time with Trevor & Sharon. Our last port of the month was Everglade City, we docked at the Rod & Gun Club built in 1864, toured the town & one of the best small town museums that I have visited. Feb 1st finds us anchored in the Keys.
