We left Marathon Thursday morning and it was a great day on the water. We saw lots of birds, fish, crab traps, and other boats. I watched the whole time for crab traps and my lazy sister just slept on the way. My Mom says the only thing good about crab traps is that she gets to eat the stone crab they catch. As hard as I watched for traps, we hooked one on our stabilizer and it was dragging behind the boat. Dad tried to cut it loose, but the prop did that for him. When we got to Key West, Mom and Dad got the line and float off. Dad hates crab traps and cusses at them.
When we got to Key West (Dad calls it Key West Crazy and Uncle Doug and Aunt Tammy call it Key Weird) Mom and Dad took us for a walk to see some of our old friends. It wasn't a very long walk, because Mom and Dad said they had to have some oysters and something about fixing a wing, or was it a wing fix at Schooners Wharf, and they said they were real thirsty after that long trip and taking us for a walk.
Friday Uncle Doug and Aunt Tammy got here YIPPEE!!!!! Uncle Doug and Aunt Tammy were real thirsty and said something in town had to be painted, some oysters were calling them (I didn't hear the phone ring) and the four of them were going to fix some birds wings, or was it a wing fix. Well there must have been lots of painting that needed to be done, because they didn't get back until after midnight, and they could hardly walk they worked so hard in town. They did mention that wherever they were painting that there was music playing, so I guess that wasn't so bad. Also the paint smell must have been bad, because Dad and Aunt Tammy had to smoke a cigar to cover up the smell. Me and Cassie were getting really worried that they wouldn't make it home in time to turn on the anchor light, and besides, we needed to go to the bathroom. Cassie said she was going to turn it on, but I said Dad would get mad, and then she wanted to go out looking for them. She always gets in trouble and blames it on me.
Well, Santa found us and our stockings were filled with goodies. I love Christmas, I love my Mom and Dad, and it was extra special because Uncle Doug and Aunt Tammy were here too.
The four of them spent Christmas day on the boat with us and fixed all kind of great food. We got a little, but Mom said we couldn't have very much because Cassie would puke. After a great Christmas day there must have been a little painting left to be done, so the four of them went back to finish. The oysters must have stayed at home because they weren't calling, and all the wings must have been fixed because they didn't mention them, but the last bit of painting smelled because they needed another cigar, and while they were finishing the painting they got thirsty again, but they said that music was playing while they were finishing.
Today, Uncle Doug and Aunt Tammy had to drive back home, but they all went to Pepe's for breakfast and the guy who played while they were painting met them there to have breakfast with them. We will miss Uncle Doug and Aunt Tammy, but they promised it wouldn't be long before they came to visit again. They said that they may even come visit us when we are in the Bahamas. YIPPEE!
We are going back to Marathon tomorrow if the weather is good. A front moved through last night and it's windy today, and Dad and Mom said if the winds don't calm down, we may stay for another day. If we don't leave tomorrow, maybe we can go to town and see some of our Key West friends and smell butts. (without the jingle bells collars, please, just our sunglasses)
