The Progress Bar

It's an XP bar so be prepared for the crash.
It'll probably be reopened as The Blue Screen of Death Bar

This weekend our little hood is besieged by Blues artists from all over the world. 
It's the International Blues Challenge, would've been fun.

You can see it live here

Sometimes the fisherman wins...

Sometimes the fish.


A fisherman off Panama was battling a huge black marlin when the battle took a turn for the worse. The fish sank the boat.

Or as Marlin Magazine put it on its Facebook post, "Marlin Wins!"

Not all the details are in, but apparently the captain began backing down on the huge fish, a common practice in big-game fishing when a fish is taking line. He puts the boat in reverse to chase the fish.

One commenter on Marlin Magazine's Facebook post who apparently had some knowledge of the incident said that the captain fell as he was backing down on the fish at full throttle. The boat took on too much water and, finally, there was no correcting the situation.

Marlin Magazine reported that the boat went to the bottom of the sea and everybody on board was rescued by the photo boat. And, of course, the fish got away.

We don't need no stinking divers!

Palm Beach has skilled Mullet that keep our bottom clean.


Not sure why these fish congregate around our bulbous bow, but they seem to enjoy it... they're here all day, everyday.
The end result is a clean bulbous bow at all times. We haven't seen it this clearly since we left the Exumas.
Unfortunately they don't eat the barnacles off the running gear so I guess a diver is necessary.


It's kinda of a rainy day here today... went out for a jog/walk before it started to sprinkle.
In South Florida one learns to appreciate the rainy overcast days. Constant sun gets old. (I know our friends in Memphis wish we would keep that to ourselves.)

Cheers,

Istaboa
