March 8/15; hard to believe its been 2 weeks since I last posted.  Time passes quickly in margaritaville!  The truth is that the past couple of weeks have been spent in utter relaxation; a combination of pool-side reading, fishing both from the pier and from the boat, and the more mundane aspects of ordinary life such as grocery shopping.

Last night we enjoyed a full (gibbous) moon.  Here are some shots of our pool with the moon in the background sky, as well as our dock.  Seems that moon really ramps up the mullet!  There is this constant splashing from the canal, and its not unusual to actually see them airborne.  Not sure if they are going after something, or trying to get away!

A few days ago, spent some time taking pictures at the fishing pier at Bayport.  This is typical of many locations around this part of the coast, dedicated primarily to "shore-bound" fishermen.  We came across a couple of women with some 20 plus crab traps here.  They were baiting them with hunks of chicken.  The wrapping suggested those chicken bits had just come from the local walmart; I guess crabs are not fussy.

Also got some nice pics of a Great Blue heron.  Seems the ones down in this area are substantially larger than what we're used to seeing at home.  A beautiful bird!

Tomorrow we are meeting up with my old mate Terry Allen and his lady, Debbie Dixon.  They're staying in Tampa for a couple of weeks, and we'll be meeting up with them for a wee Tiki tour up to the Tarpon Springs area.  Looking forward to that!
