Spent a weekend doing hotel respite at the Pirate Cove Resort and Marina in Stuart. Nice balcony room overlooking the pool,with a little fridge that chilled my Boddington's Pub Ale to a level of coldness that would have set the Brit's tongues clucking.And a shower that I could walk to naked! This is a small hotel/bar/restaurant that also rents dock space to people living on their boats. Naturally these guys (and their invariably younger wives) spend a good deal of their time in the bar,where Gordon quickly became a regular.
Very conversational these folks. One woman demonstrated doggy massage; one guy was a failed tennis pro.(" I was ranked 200th in the world after high school") Another guy looked like he just came in from the Hi Hat in Providence, and waxed nostalgic about figure 8 racing at Riverside Park.
The best one was the guy who gave us his card advertising his business of scattering remains (pets too!) at sea from his private plane,complete with a video and a flyover of the watering hole of your choice.
We actually broke the rule and talked a little politics with these people. Surprise! They all want Obama care.
"Nice balcony room.''
ReplyDeleteGlad you finally got your balcony room after so kindly giving one up in NYC.
Who knew Stuart was so hapning?
Did you get any garlic knots from Luna's?
