I see a lot of people here are from St. Pete, Treasure Island, Tampa,
Sarasota, etc.
How about a roll-call to see who is in the area?
I keep my 1974
Cal Cruising 35
Starquest in the Bradenton Beach anchorage (often called the Cortez Yacht Basin even though that is actually across the
ICW from me).
My 1982
Island Packet MKI is currently anchored just north of Tierra Verde, just outside the marina. At least I hope it is still there, the currents are wicked and it's got
engine problems that I need to address tomorrow so I can continue to bring it down to Bradenton Beach where I will keep it on a
mooring and use it as a daysailor / weekender while I continue to fix up the bigger
boat for more ambitious cruising.
