goo goo g'joob

The hot dog man is from Chicago.  When he arrived a week or so ago, he brought with him two helpers.  He calls one of them Gilligan, and the other Otis (the town drunk from Mayberry.)  I think Otis' real name may be Guido.  Anyway, today, Guido--who hasn't been around the water much--sees the manatee for the first time, and says............"Look, a Walrus!"

A couple of boats left today.  One was "Katabatik", a Leopard 46' catamaran.  It has a 25' beam, so we enjoyed watching them spin around in their own length to get out.  An engine in each hull will do that for you.


Not their first day on the boat.



As we were leaving for dinner, an interesting boat came in to buy fuel.  The marina was all sold out (cheapest fuel in the keys).

  We first thought something was missing.  Luckily, Pam interrupted me before I could say something stupid.  She was standing on the dock with a woman I didn't recognize, and Pam said "Tom, that beautiful boat belongs to this lady."

Dinner was "happy hour" at the Island Grill.  Kay Ann had to fly home today, so Mike, Phil and Cathie joined us.  Looks like Cathie didn't get the memo about HAPPY hour.
