December 2010 Key West

We found some sponges that must have fallen off a boat and a queen conch on the shore at the Key West Harbor Marina. Karen is cleaning one of the sponges in the picture behind the boat. Karen loves to take pictures of the roosters here in KW.

This is the Casa Marina Resort and the pic below is a sand castle. You or your group can book this sand box and they will teach you how to build sand castles like this for a price.

Steve & Elizabeth at our favorite bar at the Southern Most Hotel. Pic below, we went to a fund raiser for the KW Animal Shelter. Titos was the sponsor. Steve won a 4 hour golf cart rental in the raffle. We all went carting a few days later.

Steve's buddy Jim Hightower and his BF & crew Andrea were in KW to get his sailboat named Hot Ticket ready for the races that start on January 17th. We met up with them for a few nights. Pic in Irish Kevin's.

Pic below Steve & Elizabeth at Hurricane Hole for lunch their first day in KW.

This is a couple Lloyd & Loraine we met that live on a 34' sailboat in the KW Yacht Club marina a couple of boats from ours and they are leaving in January for the Bahamas

Merry Christmas to all our friends and family. We love you all.

Pirates in Paradise

This was the week of the Fort Zachary Taylor Pirate Encampment and Pirates in Paradise Festivals. We went Thursday night to Schooners Wharf Bar for the pirate costume contest. We wore a little pirate gear and smuggled in some rum. The costumes we're great including the first place winner with squirting bosoms. The second place winners we're just as good, one gave each judges a rum cake and the other gave them rum over the cake (I got the feeling the Judges could be bought$$). The second place winners are the wenches in the picture with Ron.

Can you Find the plague rat in any of the above pictures? Take the time to look now. The answer is blowing in the wind.

On Friday we shopped at the thieves market and got some wonderful deals. Also ran into some true surveyors, They cut some coconuts open for us. We made up a new drink (red bull, fresh coconut juice and vodka). This was a treat considering their wasn't drink vendors open that day.

Sunday we enjoyed a reenactment of a battle between the British, Spanish and Pirates with real canons. You will notice in the pictures a Pirate flag and British flag over the Fort. The battle took place on the parade grounds in front of Fort Zachary Taylor. This was was pretty impressive. The Pirates brought the survivors back to the fort then killed a few. They made the rest of them swear their allegiance to the Pirate Colors. Needless to say the Pirates won.

We think the plague rat sitting on the pirates shoulder had something to do with it.
