You're correct Bella, one is a river, one is a bay, but seeing as how she had to transit the mouth of Tampa Bay to get to the Manatee I figured she knew where Tampa Bay is and could thus decipher what "across Tampa Bay" meant. Regatta Point is a nice marina by the way. No holy rollers there now. Their pool/hot tub makes a great stop after day on the water. Wx being what it is, I'd suggest the hot tub today. The restaurant at head of pier has a nice enough selection, especially breakfast.
i will know slip number when we get in tomorrow--right now we are in manatee river, anchored---we will be in slip one night---will advise tomorrow when we get into slip the number.....we are medium blue hull 37 foot sloop.....
