Well we were so taken with Sarasota we decided to stay another evening and spent the day driving up to Long Boat Key, Bradenton Beach and Anna-Maria Island on the Gulf of Mexico, before tackling the 35 degree incline up the Skyline bridge to St. Petersburg at 65 mile and hour with 40 mph winds and back again.

A cool day and we have now hit 1000 miles with just 3 days to go before we return the beast to Orlando.
