April 18, 2009

Marathon, FL We are in the Florida Keys. Shibumi is on a mooring ball in Boot Key Harbor in Marathon, in the middle Keys.

We have done some boatwork while here. We have repaired the thermostat controls for our refrigeration and freezer. I fixed a loose autopilot sprocket and had some chaffing on the inflatable tubes of the dinghy repaired.

Today (Saturday) we went to No Name Key and had lunch at the No Name Pub.
The No Name Pub has a colorful history, including its time as a brothel... no no... its days as a brothel are long since passed.
The walls and the ceiling of the pub are lined with dollar bills placed there by customers. The pub periodically takes all of the dollars from the walls and ceilings and donates them to charity. The last time they did that the donation was $26,000.
We had and excellent lunch of its world famous pizza and No Name Amber Beer.
