Mid morning a huge Yacht (243') pulled into the marina it carries an art exhbition and will be here for a couple of days so the local population can have a look.
We brought the rental car back to Enterprise and had them drop us off at the Ringling brothers Museum. The site includes John Ringling's mansion and circus and art museums we were a bit short of time so only toured the house and circus museum all were very nice.
Susan and Mike picked us up to go to dinner at the house of friends on Anna Maria Island.
Planning to head South tomorrow morning.

One of the Banyan trees on site the branches send down roots, when they reach the ground the grow and form trunks to support the branch which continues growing outward. The trees can become very big and cover a large area.
At the Circus Museum we saw the antique truck "cannon" which shoots a "human cannon ball"
