Barracuda Races

Had a great dinner last night with a 2007 Seghesio Zinfandel, a wine that John knew had been rated as #10 best in 2008! It felt good to dress up and go out together.

This morning we rode our bikes down the road to Key Colony Beach to experience the "World Famous" Barracuda Racing! They have a trough with 6 lanes and they race baby barracuda fish. Most go about 1/2 way down then turn around and go back. It was really funny. There were lots of vendors and food booths and a very short parade. Big day!(HA) But we did ride almost 20 miles so at least we got our exercise.

Weather is still cool but getting better. At least the wind is dying down. We stopped at a dive shop to see if they could tell us what day would be best for diving. They said the wind would have to blow out of the east or south and that the Gulf Stream will have to move closer to shore and then we wait two more days for the water to clear. That may happen by Thursday so we may not get to dive -- we'll see.
