Lake Tarpon

Our youngest son was visiting recently.  We decided to take advantage of some of the neighborhood amenities.  One such amenity is a pontoon boat ride around Lake Tarpon.  Two daily boat rides are offered Monday through Friday except on holidays.
We chose a beautiful Friday morning for our boat ride which included a lunch stop.

It had been awhile since I had been to the lodge on the lake where the pontoons were docked.  Last time I was there I don't remember so many tables & grills.  
It is a really nice set-up for a group cookout!

This is Molly.  

She belongs to the nice gentleman who maintains the pontoon boats in good working order.  They were checking to make sure everything was O.K. for our boat ride.

All aboard!!!

Beautiful scenery on one of the side channels.



An alligator swam across the channel in front of us.  
 You have to know he is there to see him in the picture above.


Lunch break at the Tarpon Turtle.  
It was a little expensive, but the setting was beautiful.

Watch out for the spider!

We were promised an eagle sighting.  We saw three live eagles.  
I was lucky enough to get a picture of one of them.


We saw one eagle statue.  
(look to the right of the window awning)

This is how they guarantee that you will see at least one eagle on the boat trip.

 It was a beautiful day on Lake Tarpon!
I'm really glad we went on the boat ride.
Thank you Captain Pat & Captain Ray.
They were very knowledgeable & entertaining.
