Blue Angel Friday lived up to it's reputation yesterday. We parked the Benz inside the trailer park, right up at the street, across from The Bar, The Beach and The Pier. Shelby knows the owner and he owed her a favor.

We hung out at the Bar for a bit, before the show. After the big tab the last time, I was drinking from an insulated cup with supplies back at the car. I had a pot pen in my pocket with a bud in a baggie, and I was ready for the day.

The boats started stacking up and beautiful women in hot bikinis made their way up the steps to the bar from the two foot deep water. Everyone was gearing up for the best air show in the country.

Shelby said yesterday was the locals crowd, today will have a full harbor full of boats and a huge mass of people. That's why I'm staying home writing this post.

One big old black guy walked up to me, shook my hand and said he wanted to look like me when he got old. Considering his biceps way exceeded the diameter of my head, I was flattered.

I got a Vote for Dolly sticker on my Tilley hat from a local vendor and then Shelby and I headed over to The Pier to watch the show.

Along the way to the Pier we came across a big empty red tent out on the beach that somebody had set up to watch the show. I noticed a young woman with three young adorable little kids setting up in the sand next to it, so I asked the crowds around if the tent was theirs, they said no, so I invited the lady and the kids inside. I told them someone may come along and claim it, she said she could handle it, and it turned out nobody did.

Here's a Beach shot from the Pier and you can see the red tent middle left.

A bit closer...

I even walked down later and watched a bit of the show with them from inside the tent.

Meanwhile, the Beach Queen held down the pier.

I've got some video of the fly over, which centered right in front of us. I suspect it was a practice run for today, and I'll edit what I got yesterday, shortly.
