A variety of pictures for this post –
We had dinner with friends Friday night and decided to start the evening with a vodka taste-testing. A conversation with a friend as well as an article in the Wall Street Journal had us wondering if you could really taste differences in different vodkas. According to US regulations, vodka is supposed to be colorless, odorless, and flavorless. So off to the liquor store to buy airplane sized bottles of as many kinds of vodka as we could find – someone has to test this! Surprisingly, we found that there were slightly different tastes among them! Who knew?
Saturday I got to see my first manatee up close! Rich was outside on the dock when he spotted one in the water by the boat next to us. By the time I got out there with my phone, it was working its way toward our boat. It slowly ate its way under the dock, ate around and under our swim platform, around our dinghy, and finally headed off to the fuel dock. Rich said they can eat as much as 200 lbs. of seagrass and other stuff in a day! All I could think was how big must their poops be😂
Saturday afternoon there was a small cigarette-type boat going in and out of the marina several times taking people for short rides. It was incredibly noisy and very annoying. I hate this type of boat because they are so obnoxiously loud and have no purpose except to go fast. So I had to chuckle when, as it got ready to leave with a couple more people, it wouldn’t start. They tried for a long time to get it started again to no avail and finally pulled it up further on the fuel dock to get it out of the way. Yesterday it was towed away and I cheered.
