We decided to head north to the St Pete, Tampa Bay area and decided to come to the Manatee River. We have a problem with one engine and the local Volvo Service Agent is at a marina in the Manatee River, and we have arranged reciprocity with the lovely Bradenton Yacht Club. So we’ll hang around here to get the engine fixed.

We expect to be here about a week, and then weather dependent might head up into Tampa Bay or head south, as we are still in Hurricane Season, and so the threat is still large and looming.
