There is also a marina on the island run by the state park. There were two yacht clubs there today who were having weekend outings and the marina was filled. You can also sail around the island and beach your boat just offshore and either fish, swim or relax on the beach.
We rented beach chairs and an umbrella and just relaxed on the beach and got our feet wet. I took a 2-mile beach hike looking for shells we might not already have. It wasn't a particular good shell day although the beach is noted for its wide selection and quantity of shells. There were also a lot of people on the beach today looking for shells so the pickings for quality shells was slim. We did see several species of shore birds and two tortoises although we missed seeing any rattlesnakes which are common on the island. The weather was almost perfect, sunny with a few scattered clouds and light winds. It was a great beach day.
After returning from the island on our scheduled return trip, we stopped at Frenchy's just over the causeway, again, for lunch/dinner. After another great meal we travelled down to Dunedin for an ice cream cone for dessert before returning to the RV.
Back to baseball tomorrow. We are about through with sightseeing for this trip. There are four games left and we leave next Saturday. Our free time this week will be spent wrapping things up and getting ready to break camp and head home.
