Woke up and had some coffee while the dolphins made their morning rounds through the harbor catching fish. Around 11am, Brady takes off in the dink to try to find lobster in the local
shallows and coral heads. After about an hour of searching, I find one coral head with caverns running all through it. In it I caught 20 lobsters. I was so into getting lobster, I did not notice that my fins had
rubbed all 3 layers of skin off the sides of my feet. Will have to go barefoot until my feet heal. Clean the lobsters and end up with about 7 lb’s of lobster tail.
The Captain and
I finally clean up the boat and head out for “Tipsy Tuna” to watch the Superbowl. Don’t really care about the game but know that’s where the party will be. Play some pool then karaoke starts up after the game.
A majority of the songs are country! YeeeHaaaw!!!! You would expect some nice reggae tunes or pop but the karaoke people love country. Try to get the Captain to sing “I Walk The Line” or “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love
to Town” but can’t get enough beers down him to sing. Later, I attempted “All Shook Up” and get some applause. I think I’ll quit my day job. Wait a sec, what job?
About 1am I notice the game “Jenga”
behind the bar. Played a game with some new friends and the game quickly became a major spectacle in the bar. Next game we played “Drinks Jenga”, loser buys everyone else their drinks. Quickly became a hi-tension
and expensive game. Loser was buying 4-7 mixed drinks per game depending how many players there were. Maybe next time we will play “Strip Jenga” and save our money!

Relaxing day of just staying on the boat and reading our books. For dinner Captain cooks up some FREE lobster, pasta and salad. Tasty! Believe it or not I think we went to bed at about 9pm!

Another morning of coffee and dolphins. A pod of about 25 slowly came through. Some came up to the boat and stared up at me while I got some good video and still footage. Beautiful creatures. Wanted to jump in with
them but my feet are still trying to heal.
To our friends and family emailing us- We will try to respond to all of our emails but the internet connection is expensive and unreliable. Just trying to keep
this site updated is a major undertaking! A big special thanks to Julia and Ardette for all their help with an internet connection.

“Just today I was forced to say,
I’m going on a permanent holiday!
I’ll drop what I am doing, It’s ok,
I’m going on a permanent holiday!
Well left a note saying I’ll be gone for a long time.
It’s gonna take a lot to bring me back now.
I won’t spend another day in this heart attack city,
Especially when everything’s money.
Just today I was forced to say,
I’m going on a permanent holiday!
I’ll drop what I am doing, It’s ok,
I’m going on a permanent holiday!”

Guess what? Last night we had another karaoke night at the “Tipsy”! Despite all the cerveza the Captain drank, I still could not get him to sing. Athough, when they started “Rhinestone
Cowboy”, his eyes lit up for a second and I thought he was gonna do it. I sang several “El Vez” songs and the girls went wild, as usual. He he.....
For dinner Brady made his new specialty.
Here’s the recipe:
(if anyone actually makes this, email me and tell me what you think.)

Had a helluva party at “Tipsy Tuna”! Salva, the owner, locked the doors about 2am with 20 of us inside. Everyone was taking turns playing bartender concocting all kinds of drinks. Lot of
wild stuff caught on video but even I won’t post it on this site! Ha Ha! Stumbled out of the bar to discover the sun rising! Big thanks to Salva for all the freebies, but please Salva, stop singing Sinatra tunes!
