We did NOT dine there- we ate pizza and I did have one grilled conch dinner, but I got stubborn about the prices. Nor did I gamble a cent, though I walked through and looked disdainfully at all those people losing their money. CAsinos are very sad, scary places to me. If you stop and watch, it's as if people are in trances. The women look as if they are playing an instrument, their hands are placed gracefully over the buttons. Their rhythm is perfect- win or lose, they never stop. One woman was using two machines- a hand on each. A Bi-slotter. Obviously she has been studying slot machining for years.

The yachts in the marina were amazing. Tiny cruise ships. The people eat on their decks, served by waiters and you can see the chef in their galleys (are they still called galleys on yachts?) while we peasants walk by admiring them and dreaming of revolution. I realllllly hate the ones with names like "Arbitrage" or "Short Sell".
Oh dear, I hope that's not the name of yours.
I have to admit- I picture Drygulch in something like that boat in Jaws. And of course, the name should be Sal.
