Bradenton Pier
The tall room overlooking the pier used to be a radio station where I performed every Saturday when I was three years old. It is now the Twin Dolphins Marina in Bradenton, Florida.

Bradenton Florida surrounded by waterways with the Manatee River on its northern border and the Gulf of Mexico to the east. It was named after Joseph Braden whose property was a refuge for early settlers during the Seminole Indian Attacks. It was incorporated as Bradentown in 1903. We drive down Old Main Street at 2:36 which was the location of Bradentown. The current city of Bradenton was formed in 1943 as the merger of Manatee City & Bradentown.
We feature the new and growing Riverwalk, a picturesque riverside park for strolling and enjoying the sights with playground, benches, amphitheatre, and a skatepark 3:50.
Bradenton has several good wedding venues which we feature on this video. Pier 22 and the Twin Dolphin Marina (1:00). Pier 22 built 1928 in honor of 21 men from Manatee County who died in World War 1. A couple of popular wedding venues are technically in Palmetto, but we include them in this video of Bradenton being it is just over the Manatee River. They are the Palmetto Bed & Breakfast at 3:47 operated and owned by some of the nicest people you'll meet, Wim & Mieke. We have shoot several weddings there which you can see in the cards on the video. Also in Palmetto is the Riverhouse Reef & Grill 3:24, a very popular restaurant which sits on the edge of the pier at the marina.
The well known sports Academy, IMG Academy 4:17 in its 40 years of existence has helped trained many famous athletes. It also has a poplular Golf Club & wedding venue.
The South Florida Museum 2:57, has a nice courtyard for weddings with the Hampton Inn & Suites 2:50 right across the streets makes it convenient for out of town guests. The South Florida Museum has the Bishop Planetarium Theater, the region's premier astronomy education facility as well as a multimedia theater for films.
A great site if you are along the Riverwalk Area around sunset is the CSX Railroad Bridge as you can usually catch a CSX train crossing the Manatee River Drawbridge.
Anna Maria Island & Bradenton, FL Aerial
With its white sandy beaches and warm temperatures, for many years Anna Maria Island was considered a hidden gem, the sleepy island providing a rare slice of Old Florida. In the past decade, tourism development has been targeted as a key economic goal by island, county and state officials and millions of tax dollars have been invested to draw visitors to the island with national and international advertising and publicity efforts. Ponce de Leon named the island for Maria Anna von der Pfalz-Neuburg, the queen of Charles II of Spain, the sponsor of his expedition.
We start off over the Palm Sola Causeway (also known as Manatee Ave Causeway), flying towards Holmes Beach, one of three municipalities on the Island. The other two are Bradenton Beach on in the south part and Anna Maria on the north part of the Island.
On the north part of the Island is Rod & Reel Pier & Restaurant 875 N. Shore Dr, a popular fishing area. The main north-south road on the island is Gulf Drive, which begins on the south end of the island at the foot of the Longboat Pass Bridge from Longboat Key. Gulf Drive is the only road that runs the entire length of the island. We show a popular wedding venue & restaurant The Sandbar. For info on weddings at the Sandbar see
The southern tip of Anna Maria Island borders Longboat Key, Sarasota. Cortez Bridge (cr684) connects the mainland with Bradenton Beach. Anna Maria Island was only accessible by boat until 1921, when the wooden Cortez Bridge was constructed from the fishing village of Cortez to what is now Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach. The remaining parts of the Cortez Bridge are used as a fishing pier.
We then fly over Holmes Beach and the Manatee Ave Bridge to the Palm Sola Causeway back to downtown Bradenton.
Bradenton was incorporated in 1903, originally known as Bradentown, named after Dr Joseph Braden, whose nearby fort-like house was a refuge for early settlers during Seminole Indian attacks. In 1943 the Florida legislature merged the cities of Manatee & Bradentown to form the current Bradenton.
The South Florida Museum home of the Bishop Planetarium, sits near the Manatee River in Downtown Bradenton.
We then fly over two popular waterfront restaurants and marinas on opposite sides of the Manatee River. On the Bradenton side is Pier 22 and the Twin Dolphin Marina. On the Palmetto side is The Riverhouse Reef & Grille, also a poplular wedding venue and the Regatta Pointe Marina.
The Manatee River is a 36 mile river that forms in northeastern corner of Manatee County and flows into the Gulf of Mexico.

The 3rd Pier at Bradenton Beach, FL, Aug 22, '15
This is the 3rd Pier at the south end of Bradenton Beach in Bradenton, FL. It's not really deep enough for scuba diving although I have run into scuba divers here. It's a good snorkeling spot if you're going to the beach anyways. Lot's of small fish and crabs in the nooks and crannies. I have been here and seen the inside of the PACKED with snook, but not today. There are 2 more piers just north of this one, but this is the more popular diving spoThere is no telling how much longer these piers will be here.

In the red tide
This stuff is very toxic and potentially deadly, I do not recommend anybody do this unless you are very hydrated and healthy. This is what they call Allergy from what they call red tide. I believe it is caused by pesticides and fertilizers, not properly draining this into the Florida Everglades
Florida Marina and Move - Where to keep the boat
We want to move to a Marina in Florida
The plan for quite some time has been to sail the boat to a marina in Florida (and have our residency there). We were thinking West Coast of Florida for a lot of reasons. It was warmer weather. We also like the clarity of the water along this part of the Florida coast. The water is warmer here than it is by us due to being further south. The last benefit for us is it is a bit easier to sail from where the boat is now to the West coast of Florida vs. the East coast.
Marina or not to Marina
So in the words of Prince Hamlet by Shakespeare, To Marina or not to Marina, that is the question. Okay, that may not have been Bill Shakespeare exact word, but you read that in your head with grandeur didn’t you? We are considering the cost of liveaboard Marinas. We are likely going to pay between 900 and 1100 a month for a slip for our boat with the Liveaboard fee. We started considering houses that are waterfront, where we can stay on the ship. Doing so would allow us to have that “slip rent” money go toward some equity. It would also allow us a way to drop some of the costs we have. All of a sudden we think we can cover 2/3’s of a waterfront places mortgage just in applying funds in a different location.
Search Continues
We are in Florida this week starting to look at those property options. We will keep you posted on what we find. They are easy to find if you want to spend a million dollars. Which for the record we are looking for stuff MUCH less than that We have seen a few interesting ones, like living on an island that requires a ferry to get to. Pretty cool stuff, but all options are open right now.
