The other highlights of my trip were all the grimy little bars and restaurants right on the harbor.  A good friend of mine that lives in St. Pete took me to some of them for some local catch and evening cocktails, so good.  Most all of them had doc space for boats pull up so boaters could just jump out and be right in the restaurant.  Below are a view candid shots I took from my phone.  The spots to mention would be The Wharf and The Sloppy Pelican, great food and lively scenes.
