Still More Time in Islamorada

Islamorada festival on the beach

Trying to de-stress a little.  Is it working?

Well, we didn't get to leave Islamorada right on as scheduled. We did get the parts on Monday, but it took Mike longer than anticipated when it came to finishing the installation of the inverter.

No big deal! It's not bad being here in the Keys. Since we were here on Sunday and didn't really have much we could do – we decided to explore. We heard on the radio that there was an "Island Fest" being held in Founder's Park in Islamorada. Founder's Park is a little too far from the marina for a bike ride but we found that we could get there by dinghy. Yea! The Island Fest was great! There was the Taste of Islamorada being held – so we were able to taste some of the food from the local restaurants that we'd missed. Hard to think that we had missed some; but we had. I had some really good shrimp 'n grits! There were at least a hundred vendors selling their wares. AND there was a blues band playing – Pit Bull Blues Band was their name. They were really good! We planned to get a cd of theirs but we didn't. Oh well, maybe they're on the internet somewhere.

We sat in the shade of a beautiful palm tree, listened to music, watched the kids in the water and enjoyed ourselves! J Oh, and drank our own "cheap" beer. How good is that! Of course, the winds had picked up some when we decided to leave so it was quite a bumpy ride home in the dinghy. Woohoo!

Finally on Monday, Mike was able to do more work on his project. However, he didn't get it finished until Tuesday. No Worries! We just planned to leave on Wednesday. After all, the Bahamas will be there when we get there.

Till next time!
