Boating; Sunday Brunch Fort Myers Beach

Big Game Horseshoe Tournament 2012

“It's going to be 100 degrees today and the humidity will be 99 % so it the perfect storm of summer weather,” said Erie Earl as he treaded water in the pool. The 'Dead End Canal Yacht Club' had it's weekly Sunday morning brunch at Earl's house. He'd made the food and was hot from standing over the grill.

“The Eggs Benedict were deeelicious, Mr. Earl,” said hot Tamale as she helped clean up the aftermath. Earl said she was welcome and smiled to himself because he received more compliments than 'Boston Bob' for his brunch effort. Time was, we couldn't get anyone to cook so the the 'Ladies Axillary' had to cook every week. That got old and for a while we went out every Sunday.

Boston Bob was the one who revived the tradition. Mostly because he was to cheap to pay for breakfast, he is a sailor you know. Last summer he cooked every Sunday because he didn't drive for the airport transportation but season came and he had to work most Sundays. Several members stepped up and took over the chore because some accused Bob of profiting from the $5 per person fee. No one realized that we had so many frustrated chefs in the club but since then the calendar is full of rotating cooks.

Miami Enrico and Hot Tamale entertained last week. We had Eggs Caliente instead of Eggs Benedict. Most of us really enjoyed it but some went for the scrambled eggs, link sausage or pancakes which are the standby staples. The dish was Spanish with a Cuban twist. A bed of chips covered with re-fried beans, chili, hot peppers to taste, shredded yellow cheese and two fried eggs. Guacamole and whipped cream were optional.

I ate two plates as hot as I could get it and happily sweated through the morning. Later on I got in my pool with a block of ice and hugged it until my red face returned to pink. No one wanted to go boating because of the black lake water. I'm still pissed at the Pukin' Pelican so I tapped a new keg of Pabst Blue Ribbon and cooled of my insides. Aah, life is good on a Sunday but it'll be even better with NFL football.
 
PS Cleveland Jack slept in so he could watch the Horseshoe tournament before going out fishing for 24 hours. He's my hero!

The End of a Fort Myers Beach Circus Connection!

         When 91 year old Kel Egony passed away recently in Lee Memorial Hospital not many of his fellow Danes would ever have guessed that would be the place he would draw his final breathe. In his youth in Denmark, 14 year old Kel wanted to be an airplane mechanic but when the Germans invaded, his family insisted he change apprenticeships to became a mason.           Kel Jorgensen was too young to be conscripted by the Nazi's but old enough to work for the underground. Their jobs were especially difficult since the occupying German soldiers spoke fluent Danish after growing up in Denmark because of food shortages in Germany after the first World War. Still, his unit smuggled 3,000 Jews to neutral Sweden through enemy held territory before the war ended.            After the war, Kel and his brother Jorgen Jorgensen started a death defying circus act involving spinning around 75 feet in th...

"When I woke up this morning I heard the most beautiful sound; The echo of 5600 Sears generators running around the Canal," said Widow Roberts. "I didn't know what to do now that I'm alone." "Don't you worry, honey," said Hanna. "We'll get your storm shutters up tomorrow." Widow Roberts and her late husband Mortimer were original residents. They were here before the Canal was a Dead End. Mort passed right after Hurricane Irma and our club members took their shutters down.  "Will Landscaper James help again this year," asked Boston Bob. "I saw him at the Little Store last night and he said the neighborhood over on West Street had already given him 'rebrainer' but he meant a retainer." '"It's time to round up some help," said Cap'n Crunch.  This blog/column is meant for educational purposes only.  Strictly Satire!   Any resemblance to real persons, ...

Boating; Captain Manny Lee and Corazon Frisbee!

Image
  In response to a recent blog/column, I received a picture of the new 'Corazon Frisbee', the one year old queen of Cap'n Manny Lee's Marshall sloop sailboat named after her ; Captain Manny Lee and Corazon Frisbee are living large in the Florida Keys @ Bone Island Bob's private marina in Islamorada, Florida, mile marker 74.5. Private Charters aboard his boat from one to five passengers. Throwing the Frisbee for 'Sweetie Corazon' is no charge but remember she never quits just like her predecessor. For her birthday she received a new coconut (husk and all) along with a few other treats. The coconut husk is great dental floss. On your way through the Keys stop and say hello to Manny and Corazon. http://www.mannylee.com/index.html CAPTAIN McCLUSKY SAILING CHARTERS | 74540 Overseas Highway, Islamorada, FL 33036 | 281-508-7174
