Checked Out Some New Areas!

Ken and I were on the road by 6:45 to head to Manasota Key which is south of Venice!  We wanted to look for sharks teeth and shell pieces on Blind Man's Pass, a beach just between Manasota Beach and Englewood Beach.  This was an area that we had not been to before.  Nice beaches, but both of us were bothered by the red tide - lots of coughing and burning eyes.  We found lots of teeth and shells, but decided to leave when the coughing got out of control.  We planned to take a bike ride on the Pioneer Trail which was even further south, but we had enough driving for 1 day.

Manasota Beach is a large, public beach with very few people.
Of course, we were there from 8 to 10, not prime beach time
unless you are there for low tide to look for sharks teeth!

More shell hunting.  Have to take them home in Diesel.
Too heavy to keep in Willie!

Ken was patient and sat in the truck while I went to Michaels and Joann Fabrics for additional beads and "findings" for my jewelry making.  Back to Willie by 2 and we headed to the pool.  It was a gorgeous day with temperatures in the mid 80's and plenty of sunshine.  We played 2 games of shuffleboard and split the wins.

Plan to have a relaxing evening in Willie and probably the same tomorrow.  Appears that there is a good chance for rain.  Time will tell!
