Yesterday's weather was the calm before the storm. We rode our bikes in the morning, about 6 miles. We went over the bridge to see where Tom and Brady are moored, and decided that it is worth it to pay for the convenience of being in the heart of Key West, at a marina where we have electricity, pool, etc etc. We ended up at our favorite Mam's Kosher restaurant (well, it's really just a walk up counter and 3 tables outside)for lunch. We were happy Mam is still here, as when we ate there last year, she said she was planning to go back to Israel. Eric had shakshuka and I had falafel. Out of this world. We spent the afternoon on the boat, doing laundry, reading and napping. After a swim, we headed over to Schooners Wharf for the launch of the Conch Republic Festival. We got a table that was perfect for watching the world walk by. There was a parade through the restaurant and it was a typical weird, crazy and really fun time. Today we are waiting for a horrible storm to pass. It is thundering, lightning, pouring and the wind is howling. We are hoping to at least be able to put on our foul weather gear and be able to get off the boat and go into town.
