My sister Susan, seen in the photograph above, and I stopped by the Jolly Sailor Pub (aka Sailors Return) yesterday afternoon at Stuart Florida's Sunset Bay Marina for happy hour. Walking along the pier to that outdoor bar, I noticed that many of the larger yachts were still flying their Trump flags, no doubt still celebrating his victory and looking forward to all those tax cuts Trump has promised them. Perhaps they will be able to afford a second yacht and keep it on the French Riviera. One can always hope. In any case, it was a very pleasant afternoon to sit and look out at the boats and the St. Lucie River and have a Jai Alai IPA. That beer, by the way, is made by Cigar City Brewing in the Ybor City neighborhood of Tampa. The Jolly Sailor Pub was actually a restaurant located in downtown Stuart years ago. The owners decided to close the place and retire before coming out of retirement to open the Sailors Return Restaurant. And they hung the old Jolly Sailor Pub sign next to the bar, which is why I will always call it that. It fits. So there.
