Weather: It’s a beautiful morning in the harbor. There is not a cloud in the sky although isolated thunderstorms are in the forecast for the third consecutive day. We haven’t seen any in that time, so they must be isolated elsewhere! It is 76 degrees at wake up time. The overnight low was 77 degrees. The SW wind is light
Comment: We begin the day as usual with a bowl of cereal and the cruisers net, accompanied by copious amounts of harbor watching. Before
heading to today’s special event, we’ll do another fuel run, we probably need to get about 10 more gallons. That means two fuel runs on the day.
We’re having a special treat today. We are invited to the Marine Trawler Owners Association get together on Sombrero Beach. They have hot dogs and burgers and the fixings for $5.00/couple and we’ll bring a desert to share with the assembled throng.
Since we needed to go to the mainland before we leave Marathon,
we decided to rent a car for this evening and tomorrow. Having the car enabled us to invite Pat and Ray for a trip to the “No Name Pub” on Big Pine Key. Before signing in at the pub (there’s always a long line) we drove over the bridge to “No Name Key,” where we were able to see the world famous Key Deer. They small, but not too much smaller than our “Pine Barren Goats” that live back home!
At the pub, after almost an hour and
one-half wait, we saddled up to the table for some of their world famous pizza. We weren’t disappointed. The pizza at the Upper Crust in Marathon is almost as good but it is within walking distance of the marina. Future visits to the “No Name Pub” will be made if we have transportation or an offer of a ride.
By the time we returned to the boat, we were bushed!
