Coco-nutty for lobsters!

The day started out hot and humid from the git-go.  We had 35mph sustained winds in last night's thunderstorm, but no damage anywhere in the marina...just chairs and umbrellas toppled over. Back in Indiana, a thunderstorm usually clears out the humidity- not in the Keys.  I'm sure glad the air conditioner works well on Marquesa, or sleeping would be mighty uncomfortable.

Mac and Jean came over for a picnic lunch. After a quick run to town
to fill the dinghy gas can,  we decided to go lobstering again today.



Look at this cute blue crab that was crawling along the
wall where Donnie was lobstering!  I wonder if these
are the same blue crabs like they have in Charleston?
What kind of crabs do you catch, Kenny?! (not THOSE crabs!)



Paps had never been lobstering before "in all his 78 years; and he ain't
never had more fun."  Every time Donnie brought one up, he'd say,
"Whew, son, that's a good one!"  It was his job to hold the mesh
bag so Donnie could "Drop that rascal in there with them other'uns!"

Donnie got six lobsters this trip, all legal size, of course.
We even had a conservation officer stop by today.
Only two days are left in the season...gotta go again tomorrow!



After a game of dominoes and a little pool time with the in-laws, Dan and
Biddi went with us to the Hurricane for Taco Tuesday, it's dollar taco night!
(I really don't know what this face is about...really, I don't)



We missed the sunset, so decided to make our own fun
with Dan and Biddi.  I've been wanting to try coconut
milk ever since I saw three green coconuts sitting outside
of Wendy's with straws in them! Donnie got Dan's boat
hook to knock them out of the tree (that was a hoot by
itself!) Then it required a cordless drill with a long drill bit.
Just like they do it on Survivor...NOT!!!

I was looking happy until I took a big drink...what a BIG disappointment :(
Still, it was another glorious day in paradise!
