Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina: Don't Come In! The Place Is A Mess!

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina Gate Boat Sailboat Yacht Docks What's with all the security? Are they afraid we'll steal the boats? Run off with their rope? Loot the bilge and abscond with their rum? Naw, it's nothing like that... they just haven't got to their spring cleaning yet, and they don't want us to see the mess! And hey, I got messes of my own, so I can relate COMPLETELY!

Seriously though, all in all, considering her age, I think Sails Lady is looking pretty good. If you are wondering, she is a product of Morgan Yachts. In fact, she is a centerboard sloop, built in 1970, a Morgan 38. Cool, eh? Yeah, it's amazing what you can find on the internet!

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Causeway: Sailboats & Powerboats Mixing It Up

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Causeway: Sailboats & Powerboats Mixing It Up With reality TV all the rage, and all the drama and trauma that is used to sell advertising, it's easy to see conflict in this photograph. There are those on the water who want to enjoy the peace and tranquility that a sail driven boat provides. There are those on the water who want to enjoy the thrill and the rush that comes from screaming across the waves to the roar of internal combustion engines. It seems like a situation ripe for conflict.

BUT... what this picture really shows is that here in Florida, and here in Dunedin, and ESPECIALLY out here on the Dunedin Causeway, there is ample opportunity for everyone to enjoy life at whatever pace suits them best! If you want to go fast, GO FAST! If you want to slow down and smell the salt spray, then slow down and relax. Just please, be SAFE, and respect each other. Then we all have a good time, no matter our pace.

PS. Today is ELECTION DAY! So... make your vote count. Make your voice heard. If you are voting for my guy, get out and vote. If you are voting for the other guy, stay home, relax, we'll take of everything! :)

Dunedin, Florida: Boats All-A-Bobbing At The Marina The Dunedin Marina... rows of pretty watercraft... afloat on rolling swells of liquid silver... pretty place to take a walk... or have a peaceful lunch.

What of the life afloat? What of the sailor's life? A life at sea, is it right for you, would it be right for me?

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina: Wood Trimmed Sail Boat

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina: Wood Trimmed Sail Boat As I have admitted before, I don't know an awful lot about sailboats. But I do know when I see one that I like. This one seems like a sweet, simple boat. Clean lines, some beautiful wood trim. I like it.

The boat beyond, what looks like a classic Chris Craft, is pretty nice looking too. These beauties were tied up at the Dunedin Marina when I snapped them. As for me, at the moment my boating world revolves around my kayaks. No wind needed, no fuel for thirsty engines... just me and my paddle, kayaking the peaceful waters of Tampa Bay.

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Causeway Welcome Sign

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Causeway Welcome Sign If you are looking for a good time along the Dunedin Causeway, or on the beaches of Honeymoon Island, this is the sign you are looking for. Once you pass its welcoming greeting you are on your way to fun in the sun.

On the Causeway, you can rent sail boats, kayaks, windsurfers and so on. Or just lay on the narrow beach near your car. Or walk your dog, play in the shallow water, or even enjoy the Pinellas Trail spur that runs the length of the Causeway. And that means either walking, jogging, biking or skating.

Drive just a little further, and you can enjoy the many features of Honeymoon Island. That includes a large expense of beautiful beach (a remote part of which is open for pets), a Nature Center, Honeymoon Cafe, various picnic and play areas, as well as a wonderful nature trail system through the wild northern part of the island. It's an incredible place.

Dunedin Florida: Dunedin Causeway: Sailing Hurricane Pass, Honeymoon Island [click to enlarge] This image of serenity was captured on a recent day at the Dunedin Causeway.

Dunedin Florida; Dunedin Causeway; Sailing In Hurricane Pass

Dunedin Florida; Dunedin Causeway; Sailing In Hurricane Pass More fun in the sun. This was picture was taken less than a week ago! It was a beautiful, warm day and people were out enjoying every bit of it. These two sailboats make a good picture to give you an idea of how it felt to be out on the Dunedin Causeway, or sailing in Hurricane Pass, between Caladesi Island and Honeymoon Island. Even standing still in the shade, to take my photographs, was a very hot endeavor!

The nearer, blue, sailboat is a trimaran, but I don't know the make. The further boat, with the multicolored sail, is a Hobie Cat. Hobie is a very popular brand of catamaran. They are light, and easy to sail. And LOTS of fun. Trimarans can be a lot of fun too. This trimaran was not exactly screaming along, but if you want to see an incredible trimaran video on YouTube, click here. It gets more incredible as you get a little further into the video.

Oh, and did I mention... The City Of Dunedin Holiday Street Parade, aka Christmas Parade, is tomorrow! Yup, tomorrow starting at 11AM! And also, they are having the Candy Cane Lane Holiday Craft Fair Extraordinaire! The craft fair will be at the Dunedin Community Center. The parade will be on Douglas Ave. Also on Sunday, the Holiday Chorus Concert, also at the Community Center. Lots of fun stuff this weekend!

Winter Water Activities in Dunedin, Florida

Winter Water Activities in Dunedin, FloridaMy last several posts, featuring scenes of Christmas Celebrations in Downtown Dunedin have met with delight at the realization that many people are wearing shorts in those photos. I am sensing a lot of desire for warm weather and sunshine. So, because this is why people relocate to, or vacation in, Florida and the Dunedin area, I am starting a series today of sunny winter fun.

The photo above was taken from side street just a few blocks north of Downtown Dunedin, just north of the Dunedin Marina. I have never seen this spinnaker before. But it is a pretty little craft, and certainly speaks to the spirit of Florida Living. It looks like fun, doesn't it?

The body of water they are sailing upon is called St. Joseph Sound by some people, or Clearwater Harbor by others, and makes up part of the Intracoastal Waterway . The trees in the background are on Caladesi Island, which is also Caladesi Island State Park. To get to the Gulf Of Mexico from here, you either go a little further south to Clearwater Pass, or you go a little north to Hurricane Pass. In fact, over the next several days, I will bring you more images of sunny winter water fun along the Dunedin Causeway, including boating activity in Hurricane Pass.

Dunedin Homes - WATERFRONT!

A beautiful example of Dunedin homes, Dunedin real estate. There are some fine, fine homes on the waterfront here. This house sits just across Edgewater Dr. from Clearwater Harbor. That is also the Intracoastal Waterway as it passes our area. Check below to see what their view is like. And yes, that's my shadow, stretching wraith-like across the road, reaching for the next good shot. The City Of Dunedin has done a great job of making this stretch of waterfront accessible. There is a beautiful walking/biking path right at the water's edge, complete with benches and trash cans. It makes for a wonderful place to catch the sunset... And if you are thinking relocation, this is a great place to sit and watch the boats go by.
