Weather: Another beautiful week. Highs in the mid 80’s with lots of sun, blue skies, white clouds and a nice breeze.

The book this week was ‘Blood Orchid’ by Stuart Woods.

Memorial Day Weekend.

The 23^rd annual Minimal Regatta will be Sunday at Schooner Wharf Bar. Teams build a boat out of one sheet of plywood, two 2x4’s, and some screws. You may paint your boat but you cannot use any caulking. The race starts about 2:00 PM and last until after sunset. Sets of 4 boats at a time race the course in the Key West Bight. One winner in each set of 4 races in the simi-finals until there is one winner. Prizes range from ‘faster sinker’, ‘best paint job’, etc.
