Today was Pete and Bonnie's last full day in Boot Key they will pull out tomorrow morning. We hate to see them go but obligations and life have a way of keeping us moving.
They hadn't had a chance to see our other K-Dock mates from Kent Island, Mark and Gwynne on Ala. For all 6 of us to be here in the harbor was a momentous event. We made plans to all meet for breakfast this morning at the Stuffed Pig. We had a fabulous time all talking at once it would seem and getting caught up. Mark and Gwynne are here for the season but on the other end of the harbor and very busy with a number of volunteer activities and guests on board. We see them on shore occasionally but this was the first time we had gotten together to break bread. The 6 of us managed to make breakfast last a couple of hours before we headed our separate ways. One of the nice things about the pig is we can bring India along which gives her a good walk and a break off the boat. We headed back to LR and India and I stayed aboard while Scott went off to Bocce.
There is a duo here Ty and Cory who sing at the different bars and restaurants on Marathon. Ty also works at the City Marina. We had been wanting to see them and Pete wanted to eat at Burdines before they left so we made plans to meet at Burdines tonight for dinner. Ty and Cory have a regular Wednesday gig there so it was a perfect plan. We had another great evening and I got to have more fish in my diet as well. The music was wonderful, the company even better and once again we laughed and laughed and talked some more. At one point Bonnie made the comment that being at Boot Key was a little like being in college, the people are all the same age and have much in common. I guess we really can call it winter camp for seniors. LOL There are a number of folks younger than us and some raising families on board but for the most part we're pretty much a sliver haired set. All too soon we were saying good night and good bye. Quandary was leaving in the morning. We will miss them dearly. The picture was taken at Burdines, it's a little dark but I hope you can tell we were enjoying ourselves.
