Red Tide, Glowing Fish and A Wet Security Guard

Hi all,
We thouht we'd make a quick posting as we have a few moments.

We've been busy making all our last minute repairs and stocking up (lots) before we take off.

Things have been interesting around here. For the past week or so, there've been these "Red Tides". At first the water just got sort of cloudy. Then it turned red. It's neat, for some reason it's making some of the fish phosflorscent (not spelled correctly). At night, there are these little glowing trails in the water as fish swim close to the surface. It some kind of natural phenomenom, too many microscopic organisms or something like that. Alas, it is poisonous. It's killing a lot of fish and birds. It's really starting to stink.

The other morning, Sharon got up for her usual trip to the facilities. It was early and still dark. There was a man in the water in the slip across from us. Turned out that one of the security guards fell in. Sharon couldn't get him out so quickly ran up to the security station for help. Bit of a mystery there, poor guy. I think he was in there for a while.

The hotel/marina is hosting what looks like a beauty pageant here this weekend. Could be interesting except that they make us move our cars whenever they have an event like this.

We hope to make one more post before we leave on Oct 24. Boy it's coming quickly,
