6/23/2010 ATLANTIC CITY

After blogging early we had a nice breakfast at Latitude 39 overlooking the marina area.After supervising the construction going on there, Dan and Richard reset the air in the water expansion tank and adjusted the shore supply water regulator.

CONSTRUCTION BY "LATITUDE 39"

Meanwhile, we pulled up the Isner/Mahut match in Wimbledon on my trusty PC. The match was called last night at 4/4 due to darkness. It was second up on court 18 for continuation today. “Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and sometimes you don’t get to play.” Well, they certainly got to play. Today’s tie breaking match went to 59/59 and was once again called due to darkness. John had something like 98 aces and Mahut was not too far behind him. My heart goes out to those young men tonight. They play again tomorrow after 3:30, London time. Fight on, Johnny! Sam plays on Court 1 in the morning then John and Sam are scheduled to play doubles later in the day. Good luck!

Also heads up on the surf news. Keola will surf tomorrow starting about 8:15 to 8:20 CA time in the second heat of boys under 16. Go Keola!! Here is the link to watch him:: www.surfingamericalive.com

We took a break and visited the Atlantic City Aquarium and petted the baby shark, rays and horseshoe crabs. Cool respite and cute venue.

Richard picked up his rental car for tomorrow’s drive to Philly and we attempted to find a real market. Not such good luck but we did manage to grab a few supplies for the Quest.

Dinner was just a walk away at the Back Bay Ale House where we had some great margaritas. Charlene ordered her last soft shelled crab on the east coast for this trip. She had never had soft-shells before this adventure and she really enjoyed discovering them.

Back on the Quest for Fan Tan where Dan, yet once again, let the winners and Judy was the big looser! That is with a big “L”!

HOW'S THIS FOR A BIG, GREEN-EYED FLY?
