Captain’s Log – Fri 3/7/25
The weather finally cooperated for an excursion to shore today. After launching the dinghy, we took a picnic lunch to a nearby sandbar. It felt good to stretch our legs a bit and the warm sunny afternoon was a welcome reprieve from the cold front that just blew through, and I mean BLEW through!
After a mandatory nap required by the rules of the newly retired, we ventured to Cabbage Key for some sightseeing, cocktails and dinner.
At Cabbage Key, it’s a thing to sign a dollar bill and hang it up… then try to find it on your next visit. There’s a bunch of Hula Girl dollar bills hanging there. And a very special new one we put up today. We hung “Hula Girl Steve & Alicia Retired 2025” right under Jimmy Buffet’s dollar bill. So perfect as we literally set sail the day after we retired to live out the songs he wrote. We all miss you Jimmy!!!
We witnessed a remarkable sunset from the top of the water tower on the island.
Finally topped off the day with a fine dinner and wine
Hula Girl all lit up to help us navigate back to her in the dark
