We had a special guest that met us at the park, John Howell, who drove from Naples. He needed his Nellie D. fix and spent the night aboard with us. We of course had to celebrate his arrival, and the fact that it was Marty's birthday, with dinner at a local hole in the wall known for their lobster rolls and fresh hog fish. Yum!
Being on a boat often requires thinking outside the box to get things done. For example, Bicki discovered she needed an iron to press one of her cross stitch projects. When she asked other boaters on the dock if they by chance had an iron, they just shook their heads no. They walked away from her wondering what idiot cruiser would ever want to do ironing. She was desperate for a solution, and this morning she invented a creative solution. Pictured today is her 'iron'--a heated pot of boiling water which she rubbed over the fabric. It worked perfectly.
No mileage today and 195nm total. Just a quite easy day in Key West. VJH
