The Superbowl Pub Crawl by car & dinghy

Nate and his new bride Steph arrived on Superbowl Sunday for a 24 hour visit. Our plan to dink around the mooring field, then to the beach and out to the Atlantic was a bust as mother nature decided it was time to cool us off with clouds and rain. Oh what to do, what to do? How bout a pub crawl? Because Nate had a car we started at the Hurricane bar for lunch, then it was off to the Sunset grill. A Great place with a pool, Tiki hut, island music and a view of the Atlantic. No babes in the pool because of the weather.  From there we did a little sight seeing, driving across the seven mile bridge and back. Phase two of the crawl entailed going back to the boat to reprovision with warm clothes a few chairs and a cooler. Then on to Dockside by dingy for happy hour and some reggae music. All decked out in raincoats we set out across the mooring field to the end of the harbor to dockside bar and grill. the dinghy dock was full so Tom and Nate parked our dinghy behind a friends boat down the dock a bit. The Bob Marley imitater was pretty good and a 29 foot piece of cloth (with a few little holes) dropped down in front of the stage to show the Superbowl on. Our raincoats came in handy as the roof overhead was canvas and definitely not waterproof but it was all apart of the ambiance. The place was packed but no bad seats with a 29 ft screen. At half time we piled in the dinghy, trusty flashlight in hand, to guide us back to the City Marina to watch the second half in the boaters lounge, thus the cooler and chairs.  After the game the mooring field was a highway of Dinghy,s all heading back to our respective boats. A good time was had by all. Monday morning Nate and Steph headed back to Key Largo and we spent the day getting ready to leave in the morning.
