Local street entertainment in Key West and Bobby's new ride.
Bobby put on coveralls (finally - no greased up clothes and bloody nicks all over his arms) and got the generator heat exchanger cleaned out and reinstalled this week. Lots of water running through it now, so no issue of overheating anymore. Jenny cut up a disposed of sail (dumpster diving treasure) to make rain covers for the fore and aft hatches, along with 2 storage bags for under the seats in the dinghy.
Went into Key West today and met up with Frank and Lisa of M/V Gnatnoop and Tom and Susan of M/V Remedy. All of us spent time at Regatta Pointe Marina in Palmetto, Florida. The day was a continuation of Susan's 50th birthday week - we sampled a few bars and enjoyed the entertainment inside and out on the streets. We are all wondering about Bobby... he was promised a free lap dance by a male shill in front of a club while the shill slowly pressed a pamphlet into Bobby's hand. Okay, it is the start of the summer off-season, but there seemed to be plenty of people about, so how could they be that desperate?!
After one of the band's acts, concerning the need for more troops to fight terrorism, whenever I hear the "Green Berets" sung, these words will go through my head:
Silver crosses upon their chests
These brave nuns are the Vatican's best...
Fighting saints from the convent
Wearing the black habit
Bobby and Frank at the bar while Susan, Lisa, and Tom ensure the Hogsbreath Saloon remains standing.
