We left the hotel about 11:30 with Brenda driving the rental care and I drove the truck. Had a phone call with the Film Centre from 10 to 11 and thought it was best to stay in the hotel room to take it. During the phone call a huge rain storm came through and we wouldn't have been able to drive if we had left earlier so it was good that we waited. I think the drive back to Marathon was about the longest drive that Brenda has ever done. Again it was a bit boring crossing alligator alley and down the keys. Stopped at a dive shop in key Largo to book a dive on Saturday and to enquire about a refresher course for Alex and Jill when they get here. Phoned Alex to see if he wanted to take the course and they thought it would be a good idea.
Drove slowly back to Marathon where we went to the dockside bar for a drink after our long drive. Learned that it was .25 chicken wing night at Hurricanes so about 10 of us headed over there for a pretty good cheap dinner (total cost for Brenda and myself was about $12.00). Of course a couple of our friends picked up a beer for me.
When we got back to the boat we learned that the storm had also come through Marathon and the winds were about 50 miles per hour and really bounced a few boats around. Cold front had come through and the temperature dropped by about 10 degrees after the storm passed.
