We have been having dock parties for the 10 years Chip and I have been at the marina, but this time it would be even more special. Paul & Jennifer, on the M/V Parrots Nest, decided to kick it up a notch and try to emulate a Jimmy Buffett concert from the tailgating to the concert itself. In our opinion, they succeeded.
This was a pet friendly event! Tailgating started at 5:30 pm. It was a bring your own grill and your own carnivorous habit to put on the grill, and a dish to share. Some folks even had their trucks backed up on the grass for their tailgating....hey make it as real as you can! People donned grass skirts, Hawaiian leis, parrot hats, shark hats and I think every guy there had a Hawaiian shirt on. At dusk (around 8:30) Paul turned on the DVD player. He had draped two king size white sheets across the back of his boat for a screen and placed a DVD player/projector up on the grassy hill behind the boats, just below the condos. What a great set up. People brought their lawn chairs, blankets, towels... anything to sit on.
The concert was great! It was truly almost like being at the real thing!
