Caladesi to Clearwater Beach

We rejoined Kharma at anchorage (Thursday 1/12/17) in Clearwater Beach (27.979628, -82.823815) after leaving Caladesi State Park, it was about an hour and thirty-minute trip. We rafted up with Kharma then hopped in the dinghy and went ashore to watch another sunset, this time from Pier 60. The pier and Pier 60 Park were crawling with tourists and street performers were taking turns attracting crowds. We watched a magician entertain then explain that this was his livelihood, “so please give,” we didn't. We started watching a tumbling act but grew bored and wandered on out to the pier. Hawkers lined both sides with tables displaying their treasures and hoping we'd buy, we didn't. Young girls strolled along wearing their thongs hoping we'd look, I did.
The sunset was beautiful as usual, afterward, we found ourselves at the Spotted Donkey Cantina for dinner. Kim and I both got the special, Red Snapper with all kinds of good stuff piled atop; we both took home leftovers for the next day's meal.
