The Ocean-going Lip Ferret

Image
Click here to see a Facebook post about this endangered critter. In the arena of "how wacky has Danny's hair gotten in retirement?": I gave up on the long mustache. Sam Elliot doesn't need to worry about me taking his gig.  I missed my lips,  Cindy  missed my lips, all my food tasted like a lip ferret. As long as I was trimming, I took a swipe at the crazy-old-man eyebrows. I planned to use them for shade in a couple of months. Oh well.   Yesterday Cindy said she was trying to talk to me, but my hair was distracting her. Then  Stephen  chimed in that it looks like a really loose toupe. Great. Thanks Steve. Now I can't talk to my wife anymore. Li

Bahía Honda Key

Bahía Honda Key anchorage was the closest we have stayed to a beach. The swimming area was only sixty yards away! However, it was 67° with 28 kts of wind. That comes to a wind chill of nah, nevermind. So we set our sights on Marathon,  Florida, and enjoyed our sunset anchorage off Vaca Key. https://bahiahondapark.com/

Key West

We made it to Key West! We are getting provisions, doing repairs, and planning for our Bahamas crossing. I also challenged Cindy to a "campy" photo contest. She's winning, with a video of a floating tiki bar going two knots through the channel. Here's a few, so far, along with some random flower photos. I'm not sure why GoogleMaps thinks we sailed down US 1 for a while. "Uhm, yeah. I'll take the Mullet. To go. Customers waiting for a table. I winked back. Is that flirting? We love this tree. It's like its own eco-system. I think a parking ticket on the window would add. Sponge Bob? We picked up a few boat items... Key West Social Club? Their recruiting departments have different approaches.
