Anyone thinking of weekends at Twin Dolphins or day trips to Egmont or Shell Keys? One weekend a month Bradenton puts on a 12th Street show they call Old Main Street. Its near the Twin Dolphins Marina and lots of fun. Griff4
 
Probably a trip to Passage Key for an overnight stay. The weather's almost perfect. Still a bit too windy to really enjoy the day but another few weeks and it will be perfect.
 
Just put an offer on a Condo in Tierra Verde and it was accepted! We'll be down the 1st week of June for the Closing!
 
Hey Griff, sounds like the boat repairs are complete and everything is good to go?

Yeah, Bucit all set and ready for the summer! And congrats for Bugsy, we are neighbors! You folks contact me anytime about outings. We may be able to hook up. Bruce and Ines Griffith.
 
Keep me posted... got my 280 working great and looking forward to some water fun this summer. I'm in Maderia Beach area.
 
Hi RodnRhonda: We like the Twin Dolphins Marina and the Riviera Dunes Marina. Both have floating docks and are on the Manatee River. Check both out on line. Good luck, Griff.

Hey Griff4,
We've been on the Manatee river, Desoto Pt, last couple nights. It's been a duck pond out here!
Last weekend spent at Riveira Dunes w/ boat club. Possibly Twin D this weekend. We'll need water as the tank show 1/4 left.
Look us up if your around!

Dennis and others: We can't be on the Manatee River this weekend, but we like Riviera Dunes and Twin Dolphins. This Saturday (5/14/16) we will be "sandbar anchored" at Shell Key and our pals with a classic Carver Santigo will also be anchored nearby. This month is busy for us. Next Month we will be looking for a weekend at either marina on the Manatee River. I was unable to send DB360 a PM about this.

Adios. Griff4
 
Good evening Griff4,
Still anchored by Desoto pt tonight, maybe Twin D tomorrow.

Hi Dennis: Send me a PM with your email or cell. This site won't allow me to contact you by PM. You will like Twin Dolphins because the town of Bradenton is right there and there is a nice River Walk. Griff
 
Hey Griff,
A little warm last night on the hook by Desoto point.
The generator and AC unit got used quite a bit last night.
Twin D was packed for the weekend we got on the waiting list but we ended up going to Riviera dunes. Will be here for two nights and then see what the week brings. Will try and figure out the PM.

OK. We are going to Shell Key today (5/15/16) to sandbar anchor with our boating pals that have a classic Carver Santigo. Riviera Dunes is a nice clean marina. Griff4 (Bruce and Ines)

Evening Griff,
Something about your PM's are full and it won't take anymore.
Egmont Key tonight.
Regards,
Dennis
 
Dennis. We will be nearby at Shell Key, anchored in the Gulf today (Monday) arriving around 11AM. Griff

Do not mean to intrude if this is private conversation, but wanted to say how much we enjoy the anchorage at Desoto Point. Was there 2 weeks ago for a couple nights. It was not a "duck pond" as it is most of the time, but still good. Hope to get out there again soon.

Griff, Our boat was at Twin D when we bought it 5 years ago, and I do not remember floating docks. When did they change that? You are right though, it is a very nice marina in a good location. If you have not tried it, you should come up to Tarpon Springs sometime, the Sponge Docks are always interesting to check and they also have a little street festival once a month.
 
Mr Huff: Some of the docks at twin D are floating. We have stayed there 4 or 5 times for weekends. We have always used the floating docks.

Best regards, Griff
