Sarasota to Bradenton Florida

We left Marina Jack and headed north across Sarasota Bay and Anna Maria Sound and out into Tampa Bay where we turned east and up the Manatee River to Twin Dolphins Marina in Bradenton, FL


Passing under the Ringling Bridge and into Sarasota Bay



Below is the Sunshine Skyway Bridge spanning Tampa Bay, Florida, with a cable-stayed main span, and a length of 29040 feet exactly 5.5 miles! We were about 6 miles from the bridge when this was taken.


We turned east and headed up the Manatee River about 5 miles and enterd the Twin Dolphins Marina, another wonderful facility.

Outdoor dining looking west down the Manatee River



The restaurant and bar made for a very happy Captain


Not too much to do in Bradenton...unless you're a criminal.  I'm thinking of opening a franchise in Washington.
