Long Weekend Ideas (Live in Tampa Area)
I am looking for a long weekend boating destination ideas. We have a small (20 bowrider) and live in St. Pete. Don't really want to drive to the Keys, not enough time to offset the hours driving) . Have been to Captiva about half dozen times but Tweenwaters and places we have stayed are getting to be $$ this time of the year, plus sorta want to try somewhere new. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Not sure if it's your scene, but they're having the Sunset '07 festival at the Vinoy park on the 25th. It's a huge outdoor music festival featuring mostly DJ-type house/trance music. It's not my thing, but it drew like 50,000 people last year.

Will you trailer the boat somewhere?
Or, you can motor over to Tampa, stay at the Marriott,
take the trolley to Ybor City.
We cruised through Lake Okeechobee from Ft. Myers to Stuart on the St Lucie. Not much to see but fun!

Any trip on the St Johns River is exceptional. Check out Hontoon Island State Park and Silver Glen Springs and Lake George.
I put in in Deland and go north Springs---it's like going back to another time. THere are some neat little rest's and old-timey motels on the river.
Great Weekend Escape,
