Marc-  Today we did more than our usual walking.  We walked down to the beach (5 miles) and around the golf course (2.8 miles).  The humidity, 80%, is back and temperatures topped 85 degrees today.  The 15 knot winds from the East saved us.  On board Lucy III the temperature never exceeded 72 degrees with low humidity at 49% as a result of our air conditioning.  These conditions below deck were despite cooking corned beef and potatoes for several hours today.  We followed Chef Michael Gilmartin's recipe for corned beef including boiling the corned beef in two pints of Guinness.  

There were a lot of people wearing green today, and Docksides had some Irish tunes.  

We noticed a boat with a US Marshall's seizure Notice.  Apparently the owner of the boat walked away and has not paid rent for the past 5 years.  The boat survived Hurricane Irma in her slip unscathed.  The dockmaster took me aboard for a look and it is one big boat.  It does have a lot of potential.
