Day 8 – January 25th 2021

Marina Jack to Boca Grande Marina. We left the marina at 9:18am. We went from Sarasota to Venice in the ICW and in Venice we went out into the Gulf. We got into the marina at Boca Grande at 4:02pm. It was a day of riding in the ocean with not much to see but crab pots!!! Someone was always on the lookout for their floating markers as they were everywhere!!! All the people down here must be crabbers!!!! We got tied up at the marina with lots of help!!! They have a lot of staff!!! Richard went to check us in and Matt went shopping for clothes!!! He scored a new outfit!!! We went to dinner at the local marina restaurant and had a wonderful meal!!! Matt and I had our first stone crab claws and they were awesome!!! We shared chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert!!! Back to the boat and off to bed for me. The guys smoked a cigar and attempted to watch a movie. Failed again as they succumbed to the sandman!
