Leaving the Mule and Pool Club

Saturday, March 21, 2009, Tampa Yacht and Country Club

I just couldn’t pass up writing about this. The TYCC is a hundred years old. This seems to be a pretty common theme, Pensacola YC, St Pete YC have also just celebrated their hundredth birthday. The original club was formed as a riding club and still has riding stables. One of the big attractions, you know a hundred years ago everyone had a horse, was they also had a swimming pool. So the club became locally known as the “Mule and Pool Club”. Apparently, some of the old time locals still refer to it by that name.

Our bags are packed, the boat is buttoned up and we ready to head out tomorrow. Now it is just a mater of which path to take north. Google recommends I75 thru Atlanta but I am thinking of cutting off on 280 and going thru Columbus and Opelika.
