| Friday evening volleyball at cocoa Beach Pier |
We contemplated having dinner at the Seafood Festival but heavy traffic deterred us so we continued on to Cocoa Beach Pier, where I'd hoped to eat outside. However, the deck was fairly crowded and full of smokers, so we went into Pelican's , also full, and sat at the bar for a beer.
We ordered appetizers from the Happy Hour Menu: calamari (not so good) and shrimp skewer (delicious). We had a pleasant conversation with Rich, our companion at the bar,who had recently moved to Merritt Island from Massachusetts. His father was early NFL player Gil Bouley. I'd never heard of him, but enjoyed reading this article. Unlike many former athletes in the early years of professional sports, he was fairly treated by management and had good memories of his career and his team's owners.
The evening was beautiful but we were quite tired, though it wasn't yet 8 p.m. I was sound asleep shortly after 10.
