We arrived on the beach side of Cayo Costa and found ourselves a spot to anchor. Set the bow anchor and backed up to the beach. I took the lunch hook and hopped overboard to walk it in. The water was only about 4’ deep, so it was easy to haul it to the beach. Climbed back onboard and set the lines. That was when it hit me to check my pockets! Sure enough, right in my back pocket where I put it was my wallet. I managed to salvage everything except the wallet itself, so I guess it is time for a new one.
Turnout didn’t seem to be too bad for this area, considering that a lot of boaters have gone back north for the summer.
We walked down the beach in search of our shirts and food. There was a steel drum player on one of the dealership boats, which was a nice touch. It gave it that ‘island mon’ feel. I noticed that the musician was set up on a Meridian, so I guess it wasn’t just for Sea Rays after all.

I felt bad for the dealership crew. Here they are cleaning up after the kids games. They did a great job – it was a lot of fun. They even brought in Firehouse Subs for lunch, which we happen to like a lot.
By late afternoon, most of the crowd had headed out. I wonder if this means we stayed too long? One of the nicest things about this event is that we found a new destination to go to where we can drop the hook.
And so, at about 5:00 we started back. This was the first Aquapalooza event that we have gone to, and we really enjoyed it. It was also the first dealership event that we have ever joined. It was a good experience and we had a good time.
