Memorial Day Weekend - Day One

What a gorgeous day.  Sunny and hardly a cloud in the sky.  Tropical Storm Beryl is a ways off.  They say it should hit Saturday Night.  But We are not to worry about that right now.  The marina is filling up as scheduled. It was a beautiful day to walk around this morning.  Nothing opens util 11:00 really.  Some stores do open at 10:00 or a bit earlier as it is tourist season.  We first went to OC Whites for a cocktail.  There was nothing we really wanted for lunch there.  But right on course for something to go wrong for the holidays....drip...drip..drip...woosh.  down came the water right above the glasses hanging above the bar.  Sarah, the manager, followed by 4 waitstaff went running upstairs.  Then up went a few more staffers with mops and squeegees.  The dishwasher was then right down at the bar with a large tub helping Casey take down all of the glasses to wash.  These people work quickly and so well together you would almost think this was a drill.  It seems the Pepsi Machine that also makes the ice had a busted line. 

We couldn't take much more excitement so we went to lunch at the Local Heros Cafe.  We like sitting near the doorway and watch the people go by.  Most people just had on the normal garbs with sneakers or sandals.




My personal pet peeve, socks and sandals.  I think they knew it and were trying to hide.  See him there behind the trash can.







And worse, BLACK SOCKS with sandals.  UGH!!





Back at OC Whites (our second home?) the Pepsi guy came finally and repaired the line.

Many boats came in too.  This one docked next to us in El Conquistadors spot.  We lended some lines because all they had was lines like string.  He also said that it was kinda new to them and very much intended on changing the name.




It is getting bumpy as I write this  now.  Sorry it is late.

Sunday it should start with the storm.
