Cornhole
Tiki and Friends
So Sunday, we went to Porky's for mother's day with Moral Compass and R
and J from Skylark. It's an open air Tiki with really great food. And there was a
Saxiphone player doing old jazz toons. We stayed around talking after
dinner for nearly 45 min just listening to the music and hanging with
friends. Saturday we went with Suprise to see Mother Ocean in Key Largo
but it was closed so we went to a marine thrift store and I got an old gas
can. In the evening we watched a movie at the upper tiki set up by Mango
Sky. We watched The lost city of D. Today we played cornhole with
friends and ordered the parts for the head. I'm still trying to figure
out what to do with the exhaust and it's kinda driving me crazy doing the
re-design and trying to figure out how to work it out. I really like the
original design but I'm thinking there must be a way to have a newer water
lift type exhaust and it would be a LOT cheaper by thousands of dollars if
I can figure it out.
I know it sounds like all we do is work on the boat and there is some
truth to that but we also spend a lot of time with friend just hanging
out and talking, listening to music, and eating. It's a slow island kinda
life here and if you get in a hurry you miss the beautiful sunsets, the
Conch shells blowing, and announcing the sunset. And some of the most
wonderful people. We are making life long friends which is new to us as
we were formerly almost hermits by comparison.
Now we are back at the boat and running the generator as Hannah is making
a late dinner. I use the generator time to update the website and check
email. To keep the batteries charged we need to run the Generator about 2
hours a day. After dinner we we will be heading to bed because last night
was a long late night for me talking to friends about some serious topics
related to the current state of the world. There are times that we are
afraid of what may be coming. The world is so unstable right now with
wars, economic upheavel, and politics. This is a little oasis in the
middle of a very crazy world and we like it here very very much.
