October 23, Day 132 - At Joe Wheeler State Park

As promised, we woke up to rain this morning and slept in. Gerry got up to make coffee and French toast while Linda was checking email and stuff. Gerry turned on the TV to see if we received any stations here and was surprised to get several stations besides PBS.

We decided to co-host a happy hour tonight. The crews from Sterling Lady, Where’s Linda and us – Monk’s Vineyard got together and came up with a plan for this evening. Sterling made up flyers and we distributed them to all the looper boats. We came up with a few games to play along with the usual byob and bring a dish. The theme was “Getting Ready for the Florida Keys”. Sterling had some Conch Republic flags to give out as prizes.

Spent the day just kind of hanging out, visiting with fellow loopers, reading, copying computer disks/charts and some tidying up. At around 4:30 we set up for the party in the pool area. Had a great turn out, lots of food and everyone seemed to have a good time. After the party we dropped by Biddi and the Beast for awhile, then it was back to the boat and off to bed.

This was the theme of the party .... and also the prize for each of the winners of the three fun fantastic games that were planned.



After the "conch call" it took a mere few minutes before the pool area was crowded with loopers



As usual, there was plenty of food. Loopers have perfected the art of grazing!!




We did have to change a few of the signs around the pool area



Several people participated in the conch blowing contest .... but here's the winner.




Here she demonstrates her technique



The next game was a variation of "pin the tail on the donkey". In this case it was affix a looper logo to the Bud Light girl.




As you can see, contestants were blindfolded (fortunately we had them walking away from the pool)




... and here's the winner !!



The last game was butt darts. Didn't take a video, but if you're really interested, you can click on the link below:
