Tuesday, 7-31-12 At anchor off Paradise Beach Club, Pensacola


Calm, dry night.  Pepto Bismol to the rescue for some slight queaziness.  Morning grey & breezy.  Dinghied ashore for coffee & fruit at The Native Café.  Took J’s Kindle to download some stuff with good wifi.  Rain started & rain predicted for most of the rest of the day….so back to the boat we go, the front passenger in dinghy – W – getting drenched.  That’s ok!  A friendly person at the dock helped hold the dinghy so we could both get onboard – it was that bouncy with waves.  Back on Star where it’s blowing & just spitting rain & a bit bouncy. 

So glad the weather behaved, letting us go to the free Bands on the Beach tonight – it was a Beatles’ tribute group called Not Quite Fab, and they were really great.  A 4-piece bagpipe group came on to help out with Mull of Kintyre, along with Kazoo from the Blue Wahoos.  A really good night.

Slept well in calm & smooth conditions.

A Beatles tribute band......what are they thinking?

















These guys were so very good!  
(shame about blue hat guy)












Love the Sgt Pepper look.

Kazoo in the background.  Only at a free concert!
