Tarpon Springs

October 31 - Halloween

Here I am posing on the sponge docks with my Halloween Costume. We arrived yesterday and my Mom met us for dinner. She lives only about 8 miles from here and drove over. We were able to borrow her car to reprovision some groceries and our cruise captain was able to fill his propane cylinder so that they can prepare dinner for the next week!


Tarpon Springs is a Greek community with lots of super restaurants, shops and bakeries. We feasted upon a lamb dinner while the others had Greek spinach and cheese pies. For dessert, of course baklava and my Mom and I couldn't pass up getting some custard creme eclairs. Will have to diet when we get back.


Check out our pictures below of our new friends Sandy posing with the sponges, Chuck in front of the sign advertising 2 for 1 drinks, Richard piloting our boat into Tarpon Springs and Sherwood, our almost 14-year old cat, hiding under my hat in the cockpit.


Tomorrow, we are expecting a cold front with North winds. Hopefully, they will help blow us back to Punta Gorda. We expect to go back slowly, visiing other destinations along the way hopefully arriving back in another week. Opa!
