We had the rental car till mid-afternoon so did some power shopping. The guys headed to West Marine to purchase more rope. Some of the lines on the boat are showing wear and may not be as trustworthy as we’d like them to be. Tami and I filled a grocery cart with provisions, including wine. They sell it in the grocery stores in Florida! On Sundays!! What a state!!! We had to wait for the guys so did some window-shopping in the adjoining strip mall and formulated our plan for coming back, without a cart load of food.
Once the guys arrived we drove to a fish market and picked up some fresh Florida Pink shrimp. We cooked them up when we got back to the boat and chilled them to have as a Valentine’s treat later.
Tom Lanham from Noah Agenda stopped by to say hello. It was good to see him again. Diann returned home for a visit so we didn’t get to see her.
We decided to take a dinghy ride around the harbor and mooring field. Our trip took us to the Municipal Marina where we recognized the boat Misstickle. It’s captain, Ruby, was onboard and came out to visit. Ruby is from Minnesota too. It was good to hear what all his travels have been since we last saw him way back up on the TennTom just north of Mobile.
From there we stopped out in the mooring field to greet Cindy and Alex of Tug Hill Tug. They took this photo of us. Yes, once again we are bundled up at one of the most southern points of the U.S.
We enjoyed our shrimp on returning to the boat.
There is an outdoor restaurant here at the marina so we decided to walk up and have a sunset cocktail and listen to the music for a while. Well the band turned
out to be a blast and everyone was dancing.Our kids would refer to it as “oldies music”. The place was packed with us old timers dancing away to Mustang Sally and the likes. We ended up having a burger at the bar and just kept on a dancing. Our Valentine’s dinner on the boat would have to wait till another night.
We’ll probably have some sore feet tomorrow. And heads.
