We ran a few errands this morning. Temperature was 54 degrees, but it felt warmer in the sun. I walked to KMart to return a few things, but they wouldn't let me shop with Jazzy. Chuck rode the bicycle he bought at KMart the other day in the other direction to West Marine. Then he met me and I handed off Jazzy and rode the bicycle back to KMart to pick up a speaker for my iPod and a Thermos to keep coffee warm. (After we make coffee using the generator, we have to turn off the hot plate to use the generator for something else and the coffee gets cold quickly in this cold weather.)
We finishing up at 3 p.m., just in time to go to shore with Patti & Wayne to meet his high school friends for the evening. Since we had the dogs out for the better part of the day, we left them at the boats.
Jim and Linda picked us up at City Marina at 3:30 p.m. and we got a tour of Key Colony Beach, a town surrounded by Marathon with its own government and police force. Jim and Linda have a home in Avalon and rent a place down here for three months each winter.
They took us to Sparky's Landing Fish n Cocktails at MM 53.5 Oceanside. Wings and large shrimp are just 25 cents and beer, wine and well drinks are reduced prices for happy hours, 4-6 p.m.
Each couple placed their order and wings, shrimp and drinks. We got ours dry...I'm not a hot wings person and neither is Chuck. They were delicious. A few drinks and 30 wings and 40 shrimp later, we headed back to their rental property for carrot cake and coffee.
They're a really nice couple and we had a great time. It's always good to get off the boat and onto land for a while, even better when you can spend it with nice people.
Chuck's replacement phone was supposed to arrive from Verizon Wireless this morning, but whoever sent it checked 2nd Day Air, so it won't arrive until tomorrow afternoon! Then we have to program it, so hopefully he'll be back in commission by the end of the day. What a pain it is with only one phone. I can't even call him for a dinghy ride back to the boat b/c he doesn't have a phone!
If he had your number, please send him your cell phone number because he lost his contacts. Thanks!
