To support the Harbor's Relay for Life team, we purchased the opportunity to leave our mark on Boot Key Harbor. We received an old, rustic piece of wood on which we could put our boat name, home port, distance to same, and any other information we might want to include.
I completed the task of painting the sign today. It is a facsimile of the the lettering that makes our boat name. The actual boat name is a multicolored vinyl graphic that spells out SUNSHINE with a tropical scene in the actual letters. The Harbor sign that I painted is similar.
The marina people will mount it when they get some time. Beside the six or eight boards that have already been mounted, I think they have another dozen or so ready to go.
After finishing the sign, we went over to the Stuffed Pig to watch the pig races. Pig owner/promoter Rosaire and his daughter do a great job. The pig races are a lot of fun. Placing bets on the pigs can give the onlooker something to cheer for, although it is certainly spectacle enough jut to watch.
Three days of festivities are run in conjunction with National Pig Day. all proceeds go to benefit the Grace Jones Day Care facility.
