Maybe it's all those Key West boats at the Freedom Boat Club that get
my heart racing.

That CC in the foreground looks like mine, except for the engine and
the lack of a bow rail.
That picture was taken at Salty Sam's Marina in Ft Myers Beach which
is sort of in the boating backyard of "gfretwell" and myself.
Unfortunately it's not a very good day for boating right now:

I was out for a quick spin in the runabout yesterday but it was a
chilly 55 degrees on the water. Today is worse, much worse.

It's beginning to warm up in Alexandria, according to the TV folks.
But, my thermometer shows 18.5 F out there. Not golfing weather, nor
boating.

You reckon those folks would let me tie up my Key West at no charge?
We' ve a new establishment here called 'National Harbor'. Place has a
nice dock, so we stopped for a planned cup of coffee. A young guy
comes running out of a shack and asks what we want. I tell him we want
to walk up and get some coffee. He says, "That'll be $10 an hour."

We left. Now I know why there's hardly ever anyone tied up at the
docks.
