Venice and the Crow's Nest

Our latest adventure is a trip to Captiva Island. We have crew with us this week --Glenn & Nancy & Dave & Charlene.  The first stop is the Crow's Nest Marina in Venice, FL.  Venice is known as the shark tooth capital of the world--meaning that combing the beaches will surely turn up some of those deadly teeth.  The shark tooth festival will be held this weekend, April 12-14. 

The marina is located at the Venice Inlet about as close to the Gulf as possible.  The beach is a two minute walk from the marina.  The downtown district is about 2 miles away.

The Crow's nest marina restaurant has a reputation for great food--we decided to check it our for ourselves.
