On the 14th of May we headed out on the boat for a day of enjoyable horizons and fishing. With my Dad as the boat Captain we couldn't have been in better hands for cruising around. It was quite relaxing to be out on the water, in the warmth of the Florida sun with amazing people besides you.
Aside from seeing a manatee, and a dolphin I was quite excited to see a pair of Roseate Spoonbills. These pink colored birds are actually rare to see, yet they have been known to occasionally nest in the Sarasota area. The pink color occurs due to their diet, making them fairly easy to spot when they are among the mangroves.
For lunch, we stopped at one of my favorite restaurants, The Old Salty Dog. With its dockside tables, and the marine themed atmosphere, it is a relaxing place to come to when the weather is nice. What is terrific about the restaurant is being able to pull up on a boat, tie the boat off, get lunch and then go straight back to boating.
After lunch we started fishing, and together we caught 5 fish.
All in all a terrific day spent on the water!
