You don't have to go home but you can't stay here

Yesterday, I couldn't have gotten this shot of Mirasol - the marina was PACKED. Today, by about 8 AM, the mass exodus was nearly completed. We watched boat after boat head across the river to Mile Marker 0 on the ICW and begin their journey south.

Things dropped overside... (updated 12/27/11)

...and retrieved:
Gregg's insulated mug
Gregg's Hope Town hat
Quinn's sweat rag
the dinghy - Quinn let the line loose and Gregg had to swim after it in water that was slightly cleaner than a flooded septic field
1 bucket (required a swim)
dock line
boat hook
40th birthday balloon
1 2-cup measuring cup
1 swim fin (Gregg's)
Legos (a heroic effort in strong current by Gregg)
1 Croc (Quinn's)
1 Teva (Jen's) - 3 times
1 flip-flip (Quinn's)

Grill brush
plastic panel from bimini - followed by some colorful language
