Slept late.  Started this journal to keep track of our time on LBI.  Learning about the application RedNotebook.

We went for lunch at the Spray Beach Inn.  I had a turkey club wrap and Liz had a BLT.  They served fresh fried potato chips with sandwiches.  Food was good but we think more expensive than the Sandbar.

Afterward we went to the beach, I took a nap, Liz read.  Some guy caught a small shark surf fishing.

New people moved in downstairs.  Young couple with 4 young kids, 2 boys, 2 girls.  We had our G&T's, toasted Steve Riccio and Beth on their wedding.

Planned dinner at Calabria thinking it wouldn't be too busy but it was an hour wait.  Made some calls and there was no wait at the Boathouse so we went there.  I had a sword fish special that was really good, Liz had the seafood trio.

Went to Buckalew's and saw the DiaBLOW Sandwich Band.  They were playing club/disco music.  When they finally did the old rock song "Vehicle", they plowed through it so fast, like double tempo; the singer sucks.  Way, way overrated band.  Female singer was wearing a red sequined dress.  WTF?  This is the shore.  It's official - they suck!

Bought Bill the bartender from the Sandbar a beer, he came over talked to us for a while.  He lives here but moves to Stuart, FL for the winter.  Works at a place called Finn's or something.  On our way out we saw his work buddy Anthony who is a teacher when not bartending at the Sandbar.
