Clearwater Real Estate looks Best as the Sun Sets | Sunday’s Sunset
January 6th, 2008 Categories: Boating, Clearwater Florida, Sunday Sunsets, Waterfront Living
Clearwater Florida Sunset Series
Living on the west coast of Florida means great sunsets are just one of the many perks. Living on the Gulf of Mexico – we catch lots of great Clearwater sunsets on the water and off.
When I was looking for the perfect quote this one caught my eye this week. While it’s not purely for the sunset – many of you may enjoy the sentiment as you head into a new week at work!
Here’s our favorite sunset of the week that we took. If you have a sunset you want to share just email it to me at cyndee@sandbarstosunsets.com
This week in Clearwater Florida we had a record cold week in the 30’s (a low established over 50 years ago) however today it was back in the 70’s :-) now that’s what I’m talking about.
I have to admit looking at this beautiful sunset photo warms me up even now. It also showcases one of the favorite past times in the Tampa Bay area…boating, crusing, sailing, fishing – life on the water is a joy many share.
Clearwater Real Estate Agents Favorite Florida Sunset
May all your Tampa Bay sunsets be beautiful ones this week and here’s hoping your boat isn’t rocked by the guy who’s NOT rowing! 
Do you have a local Tampa Bay Florida sunset to share?

Indian Rocks Beach Florida | This Year’s Holiday Boat Parade was Windy and Magically Wonderful in 2007
December 19th, 2007 Categories: Boating, Community News, Pinellas County, Tampa Beach Living, Things to do, Waterfront Living
Indian Rocks Beach Holiday Boat Parade is a local Tradition
Indian Rocks Beach Florida – This past weekend our family went to Jimmy Iguana’s Restuarant and Open Air Waterfront Bar, a popular dock and dine (boaters always welcome here) in the Holiday Inn Harborside. It was the perfect spot to watch this years Indian Rocks Beach’s Holiday Boat Parade of 2007.
Now after a glorius week of 83 degree weather in Tampa Bay Florida, Saturday we were in for a change and the coldfront brought strong winds which started kicking up earlier that day as I watched the Clearwater Holiday Parade.
By sunset the tempatures had start dropping but nothing could dampen the spirits of those watching the dancing Christmas light on all the decked out boats along our intercoastal waterway. These Tampa Bay boaters were creative and colorful and each decorated boat was unique. Here are a couple of videos showing some of the boats in this years Indian Rocks Beach Boat Parade.
When you watch the videos you can hear the wind whipping out there. The captains did a great job keeping all the boats from bumping into each other in the narrow canal as it took an extra 30 minutes for some of the boats to make it to the parade. I hope the video gave you a glimpse into Christmas along the Tampa Florida Beaches.
There was a fabulous display of lights, decorations, animation and music on the boats that participated in this years Indian Rocks Beach Holiday boat parade. I guess the $4000 in prize money helped energize everyone’s Christmas spirit.
I took some pictures (however I need a better flash – rumor is Santa is hoping to bring one this year :-)) I also took some videos to share the experience for those that weren’t able to be with us in Indian Rocks Beach Florida this year.
