Sailboat heading out--New Year's Eve

Thu, 1/1/09

Sugarloaf Key: Happy New Year! Had a very relaxing day today—but we have a very relaxing day here every day. Read a little bit. Watched a movie and worked on the computer for a while. It was really quiet here today. Probably a lot of people hurting. Upper 70s today.

Huge yacht--probably 200 ft. long

Sugarloaf Key: Took my bike to the bike shop AGAIN to get the front tire fixed. Dropped it off and picked up some groceries (big mistake—grocery store packed) then went back and picked the bike up. We’ll see how long this one lasts. The tire is Kevlar so nothing could puncture it. It’s the tube that’s the problem. Around 4:30 we headed to Key West. Parked at the Westin garage and walked around the Mallory Square area for a while. The biggest yacht I’ve ever seen was tied up there. A beautiful thing. Probably belongs to someone from AIG, Fanny Mae, or some Wall Street bigwig that just got bailed out. Walked over to the Roof Top Café for dinner. We sat out on the deck overlooking Front Street. I had lobster and Mike had prime rib. Another beautiful day in the Conch Republic—upper 70s.
