John and Susan (Alchemy) arrived in Boot Key Harbor for a week's stay before traveling to the Bahamas. We hadn't seen them since before Christmas, as they were held up with life and broken wrists and dental work and such. It was good to see them again, and we've been swimming and dining and happy houring since they arrived.
We also passed Life's 2 Short in the harbor, with Todd and Brenda aboard. We met Todd and Brenda in TN as they were cruising the river system. They invited us to join them at a nearby tiki bar to hear Tommy Santelli, who used to perform on Watts Bar at our home marina. We met new best friends Bob and Stephanie (m/v September Song), Pete and Linda (m/v Where's Linda?), and Joe (m/v Sea Pearl) and thoroughly enjoyed the music and their company. So much so that the next evening we dinghied to m/v Adventures so Robin and Jim could join us at Lazy Days and Sunset Grille to continue enjoying the company and the music. The best behaved member of the party was Salty, Admiral of Sea Pearl. While at Sunset Grille, Tommy Santelli thanked his Kingston, Tennessee fans for following (stalking) him in Marathon. A member of the audience said "Maryville!" Maryville? Home of our few remaining worldlies and home base and mailing address? He's Russ White (top photo), visiting Marathon every year after falling in love with it on his first visit. Small world!
