Big B, Little b, What begins with B?
We felt sorry for the touristas in the swanky hotel behind the cruise ship dock..so much for your water front balcony with sunset view!

Nothing better than a sunset (or moon rise, for that matter) for relaxation and mental therapy. We were in need of both....We tooled around Key West on Monday...the usual sights, sounds and activities, plus a trip to the barber for the captain after my last attempt at tapering and the ear guard incident. In true Key West fashion, this "typical" old style barber shop (shoppe?) served multiple purposes. In addition to man hair cuts, they sold semi-automatic weapons (no purchases) as well as a colorful (read: colors not found in nature) array of hair extensions for the local sistas.
Rock on...one of the best examples of grafitti we have seen.
A sunny day with unusually favorable winds for our direction of travel, 12 knots from the west. We hauled up the main in the harbor and began our journey home. A pelican fish feeding frenzy on the way out of the harbor would portend things to come...
Nothing disturbs the quietude of a refreshing sail like the ZZIINNNGG of a trolling line. At first we thought that perhaps we had snagged a crab pot. Craig took the pole and I took the helm. The fight was definitely on, and after the perilous battle, Captain Craig was victorious!!Size does matter, one of the biggest we have landed.
Upon return to our slip, the Captain takes a knife to the beast and makes a new friend in the process.
