Week 2
January 13 - 18, 2018
Entertainment - The entertainment scene is picking up. A national tour of Chicago performed at the Tennessee Ford Theater at the Florida Keys Community College on Stock Island and we had tickets. The play had some different elements and no sets to speak of, but the actors were outstanding. Their voices were superb.
Still on the entertainment scene, we watched back-up QB Nick Foles and the Eagles beat the Vikings 38 - 7 for the NFC Championship. The Eagles will play the Patriots in Super Bowl LII in two weeks.
We took a trip to Key West to have some Royal Reds at the Conch Republic. Delicious as usual.
The Weather - it’s been cold and windy all week. The strong north winds have caused a great “Sargasso Sea” from our slip all the way to the ramp, three slips away.
Sick Bay - Anna Marie had a cold or, perhaps the flu. She lazed around and stayed aboard most of the day. Thank goodness for her it only lasted one day. The "sickness" has been visiting folks up and down the dock. Most have been down for a day or two and Jan has had it twice already. She seems to have had it the worst.
Work and Pleasure - During our drive to Marathon, we stopped at the FloatOn Boat Trailer factory in Vero Beach. They suggested that the V Stop needed “tweaking.” This week, we dropped the trailer piece off at Unique Marine in Tavernier. There was a bit of a snafu. The folks in the service department didn’t know anything about it. The arrangement was made by Tamara (FloatOn) and Todd (Owner of Unique Marine). It took a couple of phone calls, but we got the situation resolved.
On the way home, we stopped off at the World Wide Sportsman to do some shopping. I took these two photos for Josh who has a friend named Pilar. This replica of Ernest Hemingway’s boat, the Pilar, is a fixture at the store.
