2//10/17 - 2/16/17 Key West mooring field

 Storymaker hanging in Boca Grande
 Back of her
 Andy and Bob
 Andy, Mandy and Bob
They just arrived in town (2/10/17)
We are having our first beer in the parking lot by the bikes....
We are waiting for the delivery of their bikes!
 This was very exciting to watch!





 Our sun setting

 A comet from far, far, away!
 Coming back from town; starting to get dark.....
 I'm not sure what kind of boat this is....but it sure is sneaky!
 

 We're gettin' our fishin' on!

 Trolling with just the jib....still no fish!
 Bobby and I
 Australia Sheepdog (baby) very good pup!
 Just hangin' and talkin' to neighbor's at Boca Grande...
 Andy and Zippy
 Sun setting

 Moon shot
 Next day...still trying!
 Never, say never!
 Bob has found a lobster so I am going to take the crab net
over to help round him up......
 NOT!  I'm drowning here!  The current is so strong and I don't have
any fins or snorkel on!
 Pelican's galore!

 I'm trying to get us over to where the chub is....the water is so shallow
I have to walk us in....not only that, it's mud and I sink to just below
my knees at times!




 Mandy is trying to make it in from the dinghy....she was trying to wear
flip-flops but that didn't work....oooohhh the gooiness of it all!
 Another chub
 Pretty bush
 Do you see the yellow butterfly?
 Coming back to mooring field....Malory Square
 Mandy and Andy are feelin' pretty good about right now!
 Mandy and I took in the Bourban St show
 She was my favorite

 Check out the pup on the top of this boat....he really does 
think he's in charge!
 The time has come for Andy and Mandy to leave :-(
 But not before we had a wonderful lunch at Thai Island
Thank you again for the beautiful lunch!!
 Our sunset
 Bob and I the following morning....
Need to get water, do laundry, take garbage to can,
buy some gasoline and stop at the Marina to pu our mail!
 This is the "rope of shame!"
Bob had to cut it because I couldn't keep Storymaker from
trying to run over him while he was in Zippy trying to re-do the
lines.....
 Last night in Key West....We were just talking about how we hadn't
run into anyone we knew just walking around the whole time we were here....
Then all of a sudden....we hear "Bob, Bob" and wa-la there is Gene and Michelle!
 U.S.S. Antrim
Bob's grandfather had a ship named after him
 Paradise Pizza...Just isn't the same without the Franklin's!!
 Sun setting
 Bob's toesies....


 Andrew is saying hi to Gigi!
Cameron's like....tell her I said hi....let's get out of
here, it's cold!!
 
We did a lot of running around while Andy and Mandy were here.  Our first night we hit Shanna Key for appetizer and beers, then sunset, and ended with a Russian drink at the Monkey (Flaglers). The following day Bob, Andy, and Mandy did some running around.  They went to Dante's, then onto Southern Most Beach where Thong-man happened to be hangin' (literally!) after that sight they needed a drink so the went over to Lucy's and got a Shark drink! Sunday and Monday we went over to Boca Grande, great time! After we came back, the first thing we did was get up and cleaned the barnacles off our boat.  While Bob did the diving thing, Mandy kept an eye on him for me.  I was able to get some cleaning inside of boat done, and Andy did a water run for us!  No one was safe from work that day!  We did make it into town for Valentine's Day and had a great dinner at the Monkey! The following day Mandy and Andy left (2/15/17) and we did some grocery shopping to prepare for our trip north!
 
On the 16th Bob and I did our last minute running around....we are set to go in the morning....
