Boot Key Harbor and Marina Mooring #W10 http://www.ci.marathon.fl.us/government/departments/marina-and-ports/

Subject: Party like a local. 10 Sloppy Joe's
Well we had a celebratory beer at Captain Tony's and moved on in search of more adventure! We didn't have to go far to reach our next destination - Sloppy Joe's on Duval Street. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloppy_Joe's
Well it was getting close to sundown, so we just snapped this picture of Sloppy Joe's Bar! With plans to circle back later to watch the 'Conch' descend while counting down 2013.
We headed to Mallory Square to enjoy the street party that takes place every evening just before sundown. The street entertainers and venders are quite diverse, therefore you never know what they have in store for you! Just south of Mallory Square is the southern most point, of the continental United States facing with an unobstructed view facing due west! the best place to be when watching the sun go down. So we thought it fitting that we watch the last sunset of 2013 from there! Well it did have an unobstructed view when cruise ships are not in port. We were assured by the staff that the ship was departing shortly.
And they were true to their word!

There you have it - the last sunset of 2013!
After eating dinner and toasting the sunset we
decided to return back to the boat!
We arrived back at the boat at 11:45, sat on the
bow reminiscing where we have been and where we are going!
I wanted to end the year by recapping our
adventurers but every day brings something new for us to deal with. I
have enough material for a year, but the important thing is that we are acquiring
new material every day! So I will include past occurrences amongst the daily posts! I hope you have enjoyed this Swab's Log Blog thus
far and will continue to read and comment on them!
May your sails be full and your seas gentle in
the coming year!
Sea you later! 2014
