Christmas Dinner
Believe it or not we are still in Marathon, Florida waiting and waiting for a weather window to head south. As it was Christmas we decided to check out a Christmas pot luck an area restaurant/bar 'Dockside' was hosting.. They were to provide turkey, ham and potatoes and guests were to bring something to share. It was advertised via posters and word of mouth that the pot luck would begin at 3 pm but the bar would open at noon. In addition to what food you would bring, a $5 donation was requested. We chose to arrive at 2:45 only to discover the hordes who had arrived for the bar time attacked the food as soon as anything was set on the table. We found that the turkey was gone and so were the potatoes, though I did manage the final spoonful of them. There were several nice salads and plentiful pies and cookies which seemed to increase as others arriving even later than us added their items. I sought coffee to go with my plate of pie and cookies but no such luck.
We brought a pie for each of us at $7 a piece so the total cost was $12 so yeah...not a good value.
I got soaked on the dingy ride there into wind and waves and we got rained on when we went back to the boat....which was not nearly as wet as the way there. I think we were at the pot luck 50 minutes tops?
We left as the live music was to begin...?
