Mother's Day Brunch Bunch!!

It was Mother's Day and a good time was had by all.  There were 12 of us for Brunch....not many more left on island and soon to be diminished by another four friends departing.  The food was great, the laughs were many and hearty and, as always, there were "the clowns". First, Bill Newbold, the last of the big gamblers, was oh-so-proud of winning a big bet....his actions quite in context with his nickname at his prior law firm.......

                      DOLLAR "BILL"  

 And then, Kim could not stop talking about his fight that brought his first Tarpon to the boat.... but, strangely, the fish did not grow with his stories....still 200 lbs.  We all know Kim's an honest guy!

Having been to lunch at CIYC the week before, Kim proudly wore his Captiva Island Yacht Club shirt...though did not bring the papers to join, that he'd picked up, previously.  Maybe next year.

Not many adhered to their diets, proclaiming "It's MOTHER'S DAY"....we're supposed to celebrate!  Bloody Marys and Mimosas were the first of the celebrations  .Second trips to the buffet for sunny side up eggs on thick slices of tenderloin were made by many...so no one could really throw stones  WOW!!!  "WHATTA"  MEAL!!!  Then....dessert....  Brian said the boat carried about 60 pounds more, going home than coming...divided by 12 equals about 5 lbs each.  Sounds reasonable....  What do you think??
