SUNDAY, JUNE 27
7:30 AM – Noon  IMG  Academies Golf Course & Country Club  
$55 per person         
$42 club rental (pay on site)

Nestled within a bay front showcase of natural wonders, IMGA Golf & CC is a place of inspiration where people and nature peacefully coexist; where single family homes, villas and condominiums are carefully sprinkled among the pines and caressed by Gulf breezes.  IMGA Golf & CC is an unhurried place where golf is played and good times are shared without disturbing the natural beauty of this extraordinary setting.  It is perhaps the best-kept secret in southwest Florida.

IMGA Golf & Country Club is located at 4350 El Conquistador Parkway, Bradenton, FL 34210.  The phone number for the Pro Shop is 941-758-1464.

SUNDAY, JUNE 27
2:00 PM  – 6:00 PM  Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium with Sea Life Encounter Pontoon Cruise
$50 per person
 


Our outing takes us to Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium where we’ll begin by joining  a marine biologist on a 1 hour and 45 minute cruise through Sarasota and Roberts Bays. We’ll observe  Florida manatees and resident population of bottlenose dolphins while learning about the ecology, history, and folklore of the area. Your guide will lead you on a short nature walk on an uninhabited island followed by a unique opportunity to view pelicans, herons, ibis and egrets in their nesting habitat. The highlight of this trip is the collection of a sample of marine life with a trawl net. Observe and handle some of the curious residents of Sarasota Bay: puffer fish, sea horses, stone crabs, and cow fish to name a few.  Mote’s 40-foot pontoon boats, the Explorer I and IV, are Coast Guard-inspected covered vessels equipped with on-board restrooms, comfortable seating, cold drinks and snacks. This trip is suitable for all ages.

 

Following the cruise, we’ll have time to enjoy the Mote Aquarium, accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and has met rigorous, professional standards for animal management, veterinary care, wildlife conservation and research, education, safety, staffing and more.  In the Aquarium you can explore the secrets of the sea through touch pools, viewable-working labs and high-tech interactive exhibits that showcase the world-renowned research of Mote Marine Laboratory.  See sharks, dolphins, manatees and sea turtles, along with more than 100 other species of marine life.
