Tampa Bay and Company outing

Yesterday Joe and I had a great day on the Hillsborough River with Tampa Bay and Companies FAM tour. A total of 21 meeting planners from around the U.S. came out for a tour on the river. We had a wide range of planners that focused on everythig from fortune 500 companies to schools to church ministries. We paddled trip 1 from Sargeants Park to Morris Bridge park. As is normal this time of year, we saw alot of wildlife. Atleast 40 gators, hundreds of egrets and herons, woodstorks, limpkins and more. After our trip we were greeted at Morris Bridge Park by the catering staff of Mise en Place. This is Tampa's finest French restaurant and catering company. They prepared a lovely spread of fresh grilled food, served on white linen under the shade of the oak trees. This was no doubt the best after trip meal I've had in 18 years on the river!

Here are some pictures from our trip.

We just want to say thanks To Norwood and Susan from Tampa Bay and Company for organizing this event. We had a great time sharing our services with the group and look forward to taking care of their clients.
