It is gray and rainy! Harold woke up at 3:30 am when it started and closed what was open on the bridge. I slept through it all. I braved the rain to go to the laundry room to do sheets and towels. Mid afternoon a 45’Formula sedan cruiser came in next to us. Very nice – A Salt Weapon is her name and Pepper Spray is her dinghy (a jet drive with a center console)and she is crewed by two women who are sisters. Late day the rain stopped and we went with the gang to the Hurricane for Taco Tuesday. The whole gang convened on our sundeck until the wee hours. Try as the men might, they couldn’t get to the bottom of the story on the boat next door.

Another totally gray day, but it isn’t raining! We worked inside most of the day except for trips back and forth to the laundry room, sat with Ken and Diane for happy hour then made dinner aboard.

Still gray! Orlando weather says the low pressure over Georgia will take the rain out of central Florida, but didn’t show it moving off the peninsula. Even though it keeps the heat down some, the humidity is palpable and you start sweating the minute you step out. So we stayed in. I read and Harold authored and we had Casey for “background music”. We were pretty tickled late afternoon when the judge gave that guy 6 days and $400 for flicking off Jeff Ashton! Guess he learned a lesson! Here come de judge!! We took a dinghy ride to Key West Fisheries for dinner. There you order at the counter and they call you to pick it up. The lady had just put a board out with evening specials, and Harold wanted one of them. So we went to order (it was 4:50), and the kid said he couldn’t get that until 5. And a much louder woman backed him up. So we got a beer and Harold took care of a couple of phone calls and after 5 we went back to try again. The boss hadn’t put it in the computer yet, and we had to stand there for about 10 minutes (holding others up) before this got handled. Those of you in the know will find it amazing that I got dinner at all, but he was very patient. Maybe the Keys are rubbing off on him! Back at the boat we took a swim in the pool and came back for showers and jammies. The guy who was supposed to be fixing the inflatables on our old dinghy showed up this afternoon with good news and bad news. There is no charge, but the dinghy can’t be fixed. One of the sections he could not get to hold air. Harold is trying to make a deal with one of the guys who works here to trade it in return for him waxing our boat. (The boat is usable without the inflatable part.)
