Little Sarasota Bay

Morning walk about the grounds at the Ramada Inn

 

 

These photo were taken just before 10. Must have been after breakfast. Typical hotel spread. Free.
I was in a privately owned room.  The VRBO site said the breakfast was $5. No one asked. I did not volunteer.

Turtle Beach. Gulf one side, turn around

Lagoon/canal

Put in canal side

 

 

 

 Enjoy, but don't do a lot.  Besides, kayak

 

 The Gulf is on the other side of the dune

 Jim Neville Marine Preserve

 

As I download these photos more than a month after I took them, I recall it was windy on Little Sarasota Bay.  Good thing there were wind sheltered mangrove islands to explore.

 

Mangrove tunnel

 

I want to live here

 Beach walk

Brief snorkel

 Not much to see.  A few small shells on a sandy bottom.  My camera was working.

 

Headed home at 3:30, ready for the next Yak Tale.
