Almost Through!

Gaspirilla Island was filled with many adventures! After Naples, we sailed all day and anchored at a small island close to Gaspirilla. The next morning, we picked up anchor and motored to it, got a slip in the marina, rented a golf cart, and we were out exploring the town. The city of Boca Grande was where we spent our time. We went to the lighthouse museum and visited the unique shops. That night, we went shelling and found a sufficient amount of unique and very pretty shells!
Around noon the next day, we sailed to Eggmont Key in Tampa Bay. We experienced a rough night that night with a huge thunderstorm, but the next morning we explored the island. We found forts, shells, birds, and a lighthouse. After walking around the island for about an hour we sailed for Tarpon Springs.
We arrived the greek inspired city, the world capitol of sponging, in the mid-afternoon. We did a quick cleanup then went and found dinner at Costa's! The Greek cuisine quenched all our hungers! We returned to the boat that night well-fed and eager for a good nights sleep with shorepower.
