Last week Kismet was very busy, not full but ended up meeting many of the regulars…. I am sort of one now myself, at least early and late season. Met one of Don’s neighbors, Mike with DustyAnn now this guy is a regular….
This week was mostly empty, just some locals and ferry takers who were at the INN. We had a group of about 10 come over on my friends 40 Mainship. They only stayed for lunch. So it was just the wife and I left. But had a nice Dinner, as stated before the early Sunday rain kept us down below for extra Zzz’s…. Not so bad.
One highlight was an older guy who we see often at Kismet is a go fast boat builder, his name is John and the boats are called SuperBoats. The one he drives a lot is yellow and white, forget the name. Anyway last year he left Kismet, with a couple of kids and later the news got back that he took a dive in shallow water and broke his neck real bad… Never heard any news since…
Now we are pulling in with about 20-25knot S/E gusts and the place is basically empty with maybe 3-4 fishing boats and one go fast. Then I see this white hair guy hustling around the dock to grab lines… Yup, good ole John or “Titanium Neck” John now… 9:30AM beer in hand with a big smiles. Don’t know the guy real well but was happy to see a survivor such a possible life time tragedy.
