Tales from the Keys (2008 edition)
Other than Tropical Storm Edouard (currently hovering off Louisiana and headed for Texas), the Gulf has gone quiet (too quiet?), so Frank and Bob have reverted to their original plan. They will pull into Key West tonight, spend tomorrow resting and prepping for the Gulf.
They had a little help making this decision: a lobster pot fouled the prop last night and prompted them to anchor off Long Key with plans to dive down this morning and defoul it. In the meantime, a rainless squall blew over them, rocking and rolling the boat and putting on a lightshow. This morning, when Frank went down to see to the entanglement, it was gone, and the prop was undamaged, and the shark wasn't terribly interested in German-Irish breakfast. Hurray!
So, they are in better spirits this morning than last night, especially knowing that they don't have to rush through their preparations.
