Comment: It is Super Bowl Sunday. We partied in the marina building with about 80 other people. Captain Dave is a Steelers fan so we joined him in rooting for the Steelers although we really preferred to see a good game. That’s what Captain Dave wanted too. We were joined in our “booth” by Chris from “New Wave.” Chris was torn between rooting for the Steelers or the underdog Cardinals. He too, was hoping for a good game.

Our party consisted of hoagies and chips with some sparkling water to wash it down. Others partied with beer and spirits. One captain brought 14 cans of beer and 9 ounces of Bourbon. A couple of folks overindulged and wound up stumbling around and breaking things. One couple took a hard fall but appeared to have escaped injury and that was before half time!

It seemed that the Cardinals were the sentimental favorite for this crowd. The Steelers won in the waning seconds of the game. Even Cardinal fans had to agree that it was a good game.

We took some pictures of interesting boats that are in the harbor. Some are included here, the others are in the February photo album.
