I am about to head over to the Rover to see if we have a sunset sail tonight as we didn't yesterday due to the cold weather. It's a bit colder today so I fear the worst. I have all my crew agents on the case again for me. Just thinking I might not be able to stay here this time around with no savings and no real job. Everyone says I should stick it out for a few more weeks because season is about to start full swing and I will find something. I am just stressing out. I could try to find a bartending gig. Actually I need to just get my drug test up to date with the maritime consortium here and I can work 4 or 5 days on Rover as "real" crew. Capt. Chris asked me if I needed time to study for my drug test, I just laughed and said no. He said he was just making sure. Lot's of folks on this island do need time to study for theirs but not me. My drug of choice is beer. Oh, and this new liquor called Firefly.... OMG. It is - get this- Sweet Tea flavored Vodka....
O....M......G!!!!!!
IT TASTES JUST LIKE SWEET TEA! YOU CAN DRINK A GLASS OF THIS STUFF STRAIGHT ON ICE AND BY THE TIME YOU ARE FINISHED YOU HAVE A SOUTHERN ACCENT EVEN IF YOU AREN'T FROM THE SOUTH!!!!
Everyone who was with me the first time I tried it said "Oh! There's that Texan accent! We knew you were hiding it somewhere!" Apparently I don't have a thick accent unless I have been drinking.
Ok. Gotta bundle up and head out into the frozen tundra.... 60 degrees with the wind blowing 30 knots off the water really is cold people.

I don't wanna hear about how cold it is in Florida!!!
ReplyDeleteAlthough OK, that is pretty darned cold for Florida, isn't it?
Do people even have coats down there?
Firefly? Where do you get that? or how do you make it?
ReplyDeleteBah! That's not cold! Though at least you have excuse for a warming wee dram or two. Actually, where Bonnie is - now that sounds cold.
ReplyDeleteHope you can hang in there a bit longer. Feel those saying sailing season about to start are right but must be tough not knowing
Firefly is the name of the liquor. Check the liquor store...
ReplyDeleteNo sail tonight... damn. This is silly.
Race week is about to begin and all hell is gonna break loose. But, the weather is just supposed to keep getting colder and windy-er.... Which is bad for the whole economy here.
Good Luck with the job hunt! Get that license! Make your mother proud!
ReplyDeleteAmen Cowgirl! Study... study hard like you did in school... never mind.
ReplyDeleteIt's really cold here, so figure that will hit ya'll about 4-5 days from now if not sooner.
Can you imagine what I would sound like if I drank Firefly? My southern is pretty thick as it is. I actually answered the phone today "can I a hep ya?" I'm glad it was someone I knew... hey, it's Casual Friday.
