Monday 4th was Independence Day in the USA and was celebrated
as always by Americans wherever they may be (with surprise, surprise
some non-American hangers on). Pig roast was the meat of choice offered
by some of the restaurants, although the proceeds from the event at
'Bruno's' was going to local charities so the MB8 opted to go
there.
The pig was donated by Casa Guatemala, also a local charity,
however it had been won in a raffle a year back by somebody who didn't
want a pig - or maybe couldn't accommodate one on their
boat. So had given it to Casa G where they kept and fed it until
last Sunday when it's luck finally ran out and it squealed it's last. It
found itself on a newly constructed barbecue where large cuts of
the cooked porker were wheeled from the roasting area to the
serving table in a barrow. It tasted great and the 'Admiral'
naturally offered her allocation to Phil - opting to take just the potato
salad and coleslaw (as would be expected on such a
special occasion).
A good time was had by all and the Monkey Bayers
even collected 3 raffle prizes between us. We scooped a Q100 worth of pizza
from the Sun Dog Cafe. Roberta and Steve won a bottle of rum (yo ho ho) and Faye
and Kent won a T shirt.
  Not exactly George Town dinghy dock - at least you
can park
here!
Remains of the day - It tasted better than it
looked
  The serving area
The chomping area
  The Monkey Bayers with clean
plates
but Phil couldn't control his ice-cream tub and needed a bib (Roberta's
pareo)
  Maybe the number of bottles didn't
help........................
but it was a joint effort !!!
Roll on Thanksgiving!
