We're in St. Pete

We have not been too great about keeping current with the blog. I recently spent the past week in Boston while the repairs were finished on the boat. Bill and Mike took Mary Elizabeth from Sarasota to St. Pete on Monday. There were a few issues (the windex was knocked off while going under a bridge and the engine was running too hot) but things are looking good as far as the repairs go. We are very happy and thankful that all of the damage from the lightning strike is fixed. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

So we are here in St. Pete for a week. It is really great because we are right across the street from Mary Alice. Last night we went to the first of three Red Sox - Rays games this week. We hope to have everyone over to see the boat in its new (temporary) home.

We are right downtown. The building above is the Vinoy Hotel (which happens to be where the Red Sox are staying!)

The flat, beige building on the waterfront is the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg where I have been volunteering on Wednesdays throughout the summer.

And Mary Alice can look down on us from her balcony. Yes, we really are that close!

We'll be here for about a week before taking the boat back to Sarasota and then we are off to Annapolis.
