Marina mania

We're still planning to plan to plan our work. Soon. In the meantime, we're having a ball at (and around) Twin Dolphin. Good friends John and Susan (s/v Alchemy), whom we met crossing to the Bahamas in 2007, came by water from Clearwater to Twin Dolphin for a weekend visit with their Power Squadron members and invited us to join them poolside for dinner Friday evening.



Pat and Dan (s/v Ariel) whom we met in Marathon in 2005, came up from Ft. Myers for an afternoon visit Saturday and went to a happy hour(s) reception at Mattisons with us. We caught up on old times and their new great-grandbaby Gabriel and made plans to visit more often and soon. We hope they had more than fun than it looks like in the photo....blame the photographer.



The reception (a monthly event) not only featured lots of slipholders, but also a lady in a red dress with a bird on her head selling raffle tickets...you just never know.









Captain Jaybird is golfing again (after many years) with Lyle (appropriately nicknamed "Wild" by a Mayberry grandchild) and his brother Gary, William, and Mike (the marina manager). They have a great time and friendly competition. Golf technology is obviously similar to computers, skiing, boating, etc., because when Jay took his clubs to be re-gripped, they told him he needed new clubs, not new grips. The clubs have grown over the past 30 years! But they still work, along with a loaner Big Bertha from Wild.
