Location: 28.09.30N/82.45.26W Tarpon Landing Marina, Tarpon Springs, FL. Pirates in FL? Here's the evidence. We encountered this pirate ship as we were leaving Clearwater for Tarpon Springs. TS is on the Anclote River and it is still a working commercial waterfront. It was a short run today and another beautiful day in the Gulf. We saw a large turtle on the surface today and a few dolphin. We stopped for fuel at F&Y Products in TS before looking for the City Marina where we had a reservation. F&Y was $2.05/gal and was setup for fueling the commercial fleet. We arrived around 2 PM and should have realized that since it is Friday and a city owned Marina we

were in trouble. It turns out that the Marina office was closed and there was no one around. Another boat had the same disappointment so we both landed across the river at the Tarpon Landing Marina. The City Marina had around 6 slips and they appeared unsafe and were in absolutely terrible shape. Tarpon Landing was a good Marina with floating docks and was the same price at $1.50 per ft. It turned out that Tarpon Landing has a great outdoor bar and restaurant called Captain Jack's with live entertainment. We walked into town, walked the waterfront and stopped at Mykonos for dinner.
