Banana Express

Here In The Conch Republic

Hello Friends,

It feels a lot like summer right now. As I sit on the porch the bay is flat

calm and there's very little breeze. Last night's sunset was reminiscent of a

warm summer evening. Mirror like water on the ocean and a magnificent

thunderstorm in the distance making the view off our dock look more like a

canvas painting than real life. Somehow I never get tired of this and never

ever take it for granted. I am ready to soak in some rays and to partake in

some coconut rum while bobbing in the water. I am very good at this.

There is a lot fun stuff going on right now and you are invited to join

us for it all.

The parade will take us right to Schooner Wharf where I will jump off the
