Monday May 5th (Cinco de Mayo) is a prime example of why living on a boat is far more fun than living in a house/apt./condo. Me and Tawn were unloading something out of the back of my Jeep on Monday morning as a friend of ours walks up and tells us they are having a Cinco de Mayo dock party on their boat at around 6pm.
Awesome!
We go about our daily goofing off and hop in the dinghy and head down to D dock where Mike and Amy keep thier boat “Peregrin” docked. We brought a bunch of Tamales and beer. Mike is cooking up a big batch of Enchaladas, we are introduced to a couple friends of theirs and start talking boats….
Within an hour there are 15 people from up and down the dock and marina adding food to the pot luck and beer to the cooler. I spot another friend of mine a few docks over working on his boat and zip over and invite him.
An hour after that and there are easily 30+ people at the Monday night Cinco de Mayo dock party, having a great time, eating awesome food. One guy rolled up a dock cart with a small grill in it and is cooking up an awesome batch of tortilla soup. We all hung out well into the night, probably way to loud for a Monday night. But no one complained or if they did, they ended up grabbing a drink and a plate of food and hanging out for awhile.
