Saturday evening sunset at Treasure Island
If anyone is in the area of Treasure Island, FL, you just can't beat "The Club at Treasure Island" just off from Treasure Island Causeway on the GIWW at Mile 119.  Talk with Les, the Dock Master, and go to this website and and he will take good care of you.  http://theclubti.com/   The price is right (really, really, right).  There is a junior Olympic size swimming pool, a Tiki Bar by the pool, tennis courts, a big work out room with everything you can think of, and a good restaurant.  You are within a mile of Publix and the gulf.  On Gulf Blvd you can pick up the "Suncoast Beach Trolley" that will take you anywhere from Clearwater to St. Pete Beach to Pass-a-Grille.   Any place else you want to go, Les or Bob will drive you or "Lady Etta",  the Harbor Host, will also help you out. They are wonderful people here and they make you feel right at home.  Last night the owner invited us to dinner at The Club because he felt bad about the incident.  We thought that was a very nice gesture.  We had a delicious meal and a nice evening.

We are still waiting on the estimate for our boat repairs; now they say we should have it by Monday.  The sooner the better as far as I am concerned.  This has put a delay in our plans for the rest of the winter.

CO's comments:  The estimate for repairing our boat just keeps going up and up.  It is a good thing the people that hit us have good insurance.

  1. Keeping our fingers crossed it won't take long to repair once the estimate is settled. We had winter damage to our bowrails a few years back and I was worried about having our master stateroom torn apart. It actually wasn't bad and they completed the job in a day. It required them to take down everything including the headliner but when the job was done, I couldn't tell anything had been taken apart. Hang in there...we're just waiting to see you back out here on the Loop!

  2. That is really awful. I hope your boat can be fixed in a very timely manner. Pat Paulson wanted your phone number & I couldn't find it. could you email it to us (lsw-jkw@comcast.net) so I can send it to her? Thanks. I do hope you're feeling better, Bobbie.
