Well, we're in a rut, albeit a nice one! Our day started pretty much as usual, that is, with a bowl of cereal and the Cruiser's Net. Lee, the net controller for Thursday's announced that today was his last time as net controller for the season. He and Dee have a few more Relay for Life responsibilities and then they are off to store About Time, their Gemini catamaran. They'll spend the summer in their Florida home.
After the net, we went ashore for Yoga, another Thursday morning staple. Following Yoga, we had a Punic lunch at the. tiki Hut before heading out to find a storage unit for the truck. We found a reasonably priced one at Home Depot, but didn't like the way it fit in the truck bed. We checked NAPA and Advanced Auto Parts to no avail.
Today was opening day of the Major League Baseball season, so we watched a bit of the first game (NY Yankees v. Detroit Tigers). The game was tied at 3 all when we left in the seventh inning.
We returned to the boat to get ready for the wine and cheese celebration following the dedicate of the Boaters' Pole. If you recall, that's the pole where boaters were invited to leave their mark on Boot Key Harbor. I posted a picture of our effort a few weeks back. As luck would have it, our sign was voted the second best! The winner was S/V Windsong (see the picture) whose sign included a drawing of their dinghy with occupants (two people and three big dogs). It was really well done! Our friends Brian and Lynn, S/V Midori won the prize for being the furthest hailing port from Marathon.
We returned to SUNSHINE at around 1900 hours hungry for dinner. After which we watched a few episodes of Cheers.
The central portion of Florida had some pretty severe storm this afternoon. A building at the Orlando airport collapsed and NASA Is concerned for Space Shuttle Endeavor as it sits perched on the launchpad. It's scheduled to make its final mission with an April 19th launch.
