This Week on the Island 10/08/2023

 

‘This Week on the Island’ is written by Doug Bennett and is an update to friends about happenings in Key West last week. Everything is true except for those parts that are lies.

The Weather: I wait for the temp to drop below 80 degrees at night.

Monday, Jo and I went and received the newest Covid-19 shot. Tuesday, we took Jo to a hand specialist. She has been having a lot of pain in her right hand.

On the way home we stopped in Marathon at Porky’s (MM46).

We had North Carolina bar-b-que and sweet potato fries.

Two ships at the Truman Waterfront.

HNLMS Groningen is a Holland-class offshore patrol vessel operated by the Royal Netherlands Navy. The vessel was built in the Romanian shipyards in Galati, by the Dutch firm Damen Group

 

USNS Burlington (T-EPF-10) is the tenth Spearhead-class expeditionary fast transport and operated by the United States Navy's Military Sealift Command.^[2] It is the first ship in naval service named after Burlington, Vermont’s largest city.^[5]

 Tim Hollohan is a friend from Columbia, SC and plays around town.

Douglas has been awarded the first ‘Keep Key West Weird’ award.

We leave you with ‘Easy like Sunday morning’.  Saved you a chair.  You bring the rum.
