4/13/24 - We are Venice bound!

The Venice Shark's Tooth Festival is happening in lovely downtown Venice.

It will be a busy day with food vendors, music, and a lot of traffic. I know we have avid walkers in our group—it is a 30-minute walk from VYC to Centennial Park in downtown Venice. It is a 7-minute bike ride. It is a 7-minute walk from Venice Yacht Club. We brought bikes, as have several others, and I have been told that the club also has bikes available. Uber is reputedly slow. 

I was thinking about renting a minivan to have at our disposal. Enterprise has one available and I have reserved it (at no obligation) if I can get there by 1 to pick it up. 

For anyone who wants a less strenuous and more reliable method of transit, a local company does have Golf Cart rentals:

We have our big dinner tonight at the club - 6:30 pm - EVERYONE'S going to be there. 

There is no pressure to leave Sarasota, and Kevin is the dockmaster at the dock in Venice today. He says come anytime, and it is better to come staggered rather than all at once. We have 10 boats, and the Norrises are at the Crow's Nest due to size limitations.
