St. Patty's Day Party in Long Island

Tuesday, the Long Island Breeze had a St. Patty's Day Party. We were looking forward to seeing some more boater's arrive as it had been very quiet here. A group of boaters arrived on Tuesday following the George Town Regatta and "
No Talent" Show. We were very surprised to see Debbie and Carl off of Diva at the party when we arrived.

Mike and Jackie at Long Island Breeze had provided free conch fritters, pizza bites, and fudge, and the boaters brought in dishes to share. It was a great time.

Photo of the Pretty Penny from deck of Long Island Breeze - Everyone says this should be on our next boat cards.

Debbie and I were lamenting the fact that neither of us had ever seen the "green flash" when the sun sets. Well guess what - we both saw it! What a thrill - I was beginning to think it was a fable.

Wednesday night we had Wayne and Sharon from My Sharona, and Carl and Deb from Diva over for "sunset cocktails" and a few games of Mexican Train Dominos. We were watching the sunset again and saw the green flash a second time, two days in a row. Sorry, I don't think I can ever catch it on a photo, but will continue to try!

Double click on the video to hear Bob's attempt at playing the Conch Horn - but don't do it at work! He needs to take classes


Thursday we woke up to almost perfectly calm water - this is the calm before the 25 knot winds expected Saturday and Sunday.

We are planning on moving the boat to the North end of the island to be close to the Stella Maris Marina where we will meet up with neighbors visiting on Sunday for a week. Should be a very calm trip today.
