After another slow start to the day and after pastries for Le Sucrière, we decided to do something of a pub crawl in the afternoon. We started at The Anchor Bar, which is at the Isla del Sol yacht club. You can go back but must surrender your driver's license in exchange for a pass. It is a nice setting, and you can see many yachts up close, but NO pictures. They have a small menu but were not serving food yesterday. We each had a drink and then headed to Lagoonies.
They were just finishing with what looked to be a good lunch crowd, we got a table and waited and waited for someone to take a drink order. I then went to the bar and asked if we could order. It seems every time I go to this place, the service or lack of is the same. They do have a good rum punch for $5 and it tasted like it had some cinnamon in it. On to the next stop.
I was dropped off at Royal Isander to meet up with Sheila and Ed and another couple I met on the flight down. Sadly, I missed Gretchen and kim.
The others went to SSBB and I walked over to Driftwood as I have no desire to go to SSBB. One ship was scheduled yesterday but due to weather conditions (so I was told) skipped stopping a SXM. Driftwood was doing a brisk business, but I found a seat at the bar and The Whale Tails appeared. We then moved to a table and enjoyed some island conversation. The others in my group said SSBB was not very busy with several sections closed off.
Back to Royal Palm as I was meeting Junior Bruney for dinner at Lee's. I went a little early for HH and was again joined by The Whale Tail as I wanted them to meet Junior. He arrived and entertained them with island conversation, which we all enjoyed. Junior and I each had Mahi, and I found Lee's had garlic bread on the menu (which I never noticed) so we added that as well. Having known Junior for going on 34 years now, it is always a pleasure to spend more time with him. Several on TTOL have met him as well. Another good meal and evening. I know the others went to Isola but I have no food report yet.
Lee also came in again. This was the third time I have seen him and talked to him on this trip. He and Junior go way back. Lee seems to be doing really good.
Wednesday is departure day for our group. I just received an email from AA about East coast weather possibly impacting my flight through CLT. The rest of the group are flying into MIA and staying in FL while another is connecting through ATL. I am hoping for smooth returns for all of us.
