The eight boats that participated in this cruise truly took advantage of belonging to the FCYC.  We docked at the following clubs: Venice, Clearwater Beach, Treasure Island, St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Sarasota.  In addition, we enjoyed cocktails at Tarpon Springs YC and St. Petersburg YC at Pass-a-Grille.  We also enjoyed lunch at Davis Island YC and Carlouel YC.  It is really a wonderful experience to visit these clubs and be treated so well.

The following are some of the memories and highlights from this fun filled cruise:

·         At Venice YC, Lindsey won $50 at their Bingo Buffet.

·         At Clearwater Beach YC, the guys pulled out a victory over the gals in a heated beach Bocci game

·         At Treasure Island YC, we all enjoyed a trolley ride to Don Cesar Resort for a wonderful lunch (ask Ed Hatter what happened in his pool game against four of the ladies), then cocktails at Pass-a-Grill YC, followed by exploring the Johns Pass Boardwalk.

·         At St. Petersburg YC everyone was on their own to explore the museums, shops etc.

·         At Tampa Y &CC, Chet & Pam Blackford joined us and participated in dinner at Bern's Steakhouse, touring Tarpon Springs, as well as two days at Busch Gardens.

·         At Sarasota YC, Bob & Doris Ferry joined us for an enjoyable night at the theater where we saw a lively play entitled "Barnum".

·         The Mitchells and Hanns are to be congratulated for keeping up with the other six "faster" boats. 

·         Whoever was in charge of weather did an "ok" job, but we would have liked a few less cold fronts and a little less wind.

·         All in all, it was a great cruise.
