Subject: Party like a local. 9 Captain Tony's Saloon - fish.
As we saw the sign with the fish, we both looked at each other and asked each other simultaneously for a quarter! I went first! I stood in the gutter, with my back to the sign. Captain Steve stood on the sidewalk stopping people from crossing in front of the sign so I would not hit them! He counted down, I threw the coin and missed by yards and yards. Being a gentleman - Captain Steve gave me another try! I again I failed miserably!
Now it was Captain Steve's turn. By this time a crowd had gathered to watch! He said it was not necessary to stand in front of the bar to keep anyone from walking past, because could through pretty well! Even the patrons in the restaurant across the street stopped eating to to watch! I thought that Captain Steve was way over confident and laughed! So I stood across the street with the camera ready to catch the momentous occasion just in case he hit his mark!
Well Captain Steve has never failed to amaze me! As pedestrians walked around him but most stopped to watch and cars whizzed by, I counted down! Through the lips, over the gums, look out tummy here it comes! He let it rip! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He nailed it on the first try! He didn't believe it! He actually looked around on the ground for the quarter, until the women in the picture assured him that he really hit the mark! As I hooted and applauded, people stopped and congratulated him, passing cars honked their horns saluting him! People came out of the bar and restaurant to congratulate him. Well I was thrilled when I realized that I got the picture! Everyone telling him that he will have very good luck for the year! Hopefully they meant 2014! But all in all, I must say that 2013 was a great year for us! So when you visit Captain Tony's Saloon in Key West - try your luck!!!!!
