After returning from the Tortugas, our friends insisted we have a night out on the town. So we headed into Old Town and made our way around to the various bars, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying being around our friends again. Memorial Day was soon upon us, so we decided to have a cookout. We loaded up on hotdogs, burgers, beers, chips and fruits (to even out the amount of carbs we were consuming that day!) and headed over to Ft. Zachary Taylor State Park on Saturday. John made an excellent chef as he slaved over the grill while the rest of us (Blake, Jeremy, Brad, Desi, Koa and I) lazed around on the beach and enjoyed the day. We all enjoyed the grub, especially Koa who got all the leftovers. We cooked, we swam, we drank; and then we left the park, showered up and headed back out to do more of the same. All in all, a successful Memorial Day weekend.
Without even realizing that Monday was Memorial Day, we planned to have a party - Margarita Monday. John's friend was in town, another couple that we had met had friends in town and it jut seemed like the perfect day. We had everyone out to our boat (we have learned in our travels that whosoever has the biggest boat is automatically the host), including some landlubbers (Lori, Desi, Daniella, and Sonia) that we had to dinghy in from the dock. Don't worry, we didn't use our slow dinghy - they would have bailed ship before they even got out to our boat! One of the other guys on the mooring field picked them up in his super fast 25hp dinghy.
It was an awesome day - perfect for Margaritas!! We had chips and dips, quesadillas and frozen margaritas (thanks to our generator!) We listened to music, relaxed on the boat and everyone swam around with Koa - much to his delight!
When darkness fell and everyone had been transported back to shore, the mooring fielders met back at our boat to finish out the evening with some games. It was a very successful first "Margarita Monday" and will need to be repeated on a regular basis!!
