Concert

The concert with the Jimmy Buffett tribute band (Parrots of the Caribbean) was the reason we stayed an extra couple days. Mother Nature threatened to rain on the event, but it got started just after 6:00. The opening band was good, but not a lot of excitement. Just before the POTC were to start, it began to sprinkle... they quickly covered the PA equipment with blue tarps. Unfortunately, that didn't help the sound quality much when they did get going.


The band was good, but not an "event" like a real Jimmy Buffett concert. But, the price was right and we had a good vantage point across the canal, away from the crowd. We sat with our new friends for a while, but came back to the boat to get out of the rain. It sprinkled on and off the rest of the evening, and then just before the band was to finish, it POURED. The band had worked hard for the crowd, and the crowd was now running out. Too bad... instead of a big finish, it just fizzled out.


On the bright side, the rain also quieted the noisy people on the boats behind us. We were expecting a loud all-night party from them, and it got real quiet real fast.
