An Island Shuttle February 13, 2013

Anna Maria Island has a new taxi plying its waters . . . the Island Pearl.
The just-initiated shuttle service is FREE on Mondays this month.
So we hopped aboard to see the island from a different perspective.
We crossed under the Cortez Bridge as it yawned to admit a sailboat.
First shuttle stop, the Historic Bridge Street Pier in Bradenton Beach.
The pier houses Rotten Ralph’s where beer is always FREE . . . tomorrow.
From the pier, we continued south through the Intercoastal Waterway.
Next stop, the Mar Vista restaurant on AMI’s sister island of Long Boat Key ~ I half expected to see Gilligan and the Professor counting coconuts on the sand.
On the way back, we swung in close to the southern tip of the island.
Where fisherman fish and families enjoy picnics in the pavilion.
We caught sight of our neighborhood as we headed north to Holmes Beach.
Aah . . . that’s better!
