11/23-29/13 - Dunedin

We stayed at Marker 1 marina in Dunedin, FL.  The stay was a great relief after travelling the Great Bend.  The slips were in great shape and the staff was very helpful.

Sunset at Marker 1 in Dunedin.  It was in Dunedin that we began to seriously discuss retiring to southwest Florida

 

That first evening we went to Hella’s in Tarpon Springs with Humbug, Journey and Kajen to help "Always 5O’clock" celebrate their finishing the Great Loop.  Great greek food. 

We rented a car for the week from Enterprise and went to St. Petersburg where we went to both the Dali museum and Chihouly gallery

We spent Thanksgiving in Odessa, FL at the winter home of some friends.  Dinner was prepared and shared with some othe "Loopers" who we have been travelling with, Mike & Hiromi, Pete & Carolyn.  (It was great to have a real kitchen to cook in.  We could not have done it in a ship's galley.)

 

 It was great even for the dogs.  Shaina made friends with a great dane and even a "biker" dog showed up.

 We departed on the 30th to continue our trip down to the Keys.
