Here's Myron on our boat trying on my new hat...

At Faro Blanco Marina in Marathon, they hosted a power boat run last weekend...

They're color coding the engines to the hull...sweet $$$$

Some boats were trailered and pulled by these buggys...

Classy...

Everywhere they went, this gas tanker followed...

My personal choice...

Enclosed cockpit...

This is Jane at Boondocks down in Pine Key... Jane, Patrick, Joell and I stopped here for lunch after a visit to the flee market...

Nice variety of flat screens to watch...

Lots of areas and levels to sit at here in Boondocks Bar/Restaurant...very nice...

Oh, more seating...

Here's Patrick goofing around...

Something not right with him...

So here are my new $108 dollar each Rudder seals...

All greased up...

Here are my removed old rudder seals which took right around 2.5 hours to get off...

I'm one sore puppy....

After getting the first one done the second was a little easier...

Did I say I was sore?

Just paid for a lift and hang for 2 hours which was quoted at $280 but on the bill was a Valentines Day special for half price so the bill came out to 135ish... yea.... you don't get too many breaks like that these days....beside that I think I also saved $1000 because I did the labor and not some yard that charges $125 an hour...plus double the parts cost, plus, plus, plus....

This is Lady Jane...she's up for sale here at Marathon Marina by Patrick and Jane, originally from Green Bay, transplanted here about 4 years ago...

She's too much for Patrick to handle anymore so they purchased a house in Florida and put their 44' (50' overall) Viking up for sale at $68,000

She's being pulled so it can be inspected for the new buyer...

Looks pretty good except for a few missing or degraded Zincs...

Going back in the water and out for a test drive.... let's hope she passes with flying colors...

We had a "Blow" in the Keys...

Expecting rain for most of the day today, but just happened to catch this on our flybridge that came through at 10am this morning...

Mikes having lunch over at Lazy Days restaurant with some Water Way ham radio friends today and this evening a group of us will be  heading over to Lazy Days again for a going away party/dinner for Dock Box Bob.... Bob's leaving on Friday, heading a little north and then over to the Bahamas for 3 months...

Jane, Joell and Mike went to the flee market last Saturday on Pine Key just south of the 7 Mile Bridge.

Jane from Green Bay, Mike and Joell

We forgot to pick up an Orchid on the way out since it was close to the car, but enjoyed looking at them.

Jane, Joell and I all bought hats... 

This is not the hat Mike purchased, but it was close...

I had this uncanny feeling to pick rice...

Jane and Joell...
