Olivia in the fighting chair...
Don and Olivia on the flybridge...
Olivia's favorite place was down below in the plush cabin. Unbelievably beautiful - both the boat and the weather that evening. Could the night get better? Well, yes it could. If you've never been to a Greek restaurant like Taverna Opa, you are missing out. The food is excellent, the staff is friendly and the dancing is fun. During our meal the staff did their line dance around the restaurant.
Earlier that day the kids and I went to a "Geddy the Gecko" show and ironically the only picture I took was of the traditional male Greek line dancing.
After line dancing, staff begin table dancing and shortly thereafter, invite patrons up as well. Olivia hesitated for just a moment before climbing right up. The girl never ceases to amaze me.At another Taverna Opa (in Hollywood, FL) they smash plates on the floor but not here for two reasons: 1. they are right on the water and 2. they had a law suit. Instead, they throw napkins - you can see them here.
Olivia kept wanting to dance, especially when Brian asked her...
Should I be worried?

I think Don is the one who should be worried! His daughter is a little clone of his wife. Of course, his son is a little clone of himself, too.
You guys are the greatest, and your adventures are really fun to follow online.
I have always loved Greek food, so your restaurant sounds like a "must do."
We had "Senior Projects" day at FIT today. Seminars all day by students who were reporting their projects required for admission into their senior year. All were good, and some were great. One such was a hydrogen fuel cell powered submarine - a team project. Check their website at:

They had it on display outside, and cranked it up. It now has three trolling motors, so is expected to do about 8 kts. underwater.
Another interesting team-project was a "dimpled" ship-hull design. One of the team is a golfer, and supposed that if dimples make a golf ball fly more smoothly through fluid air, dimples in a ship-hull might help a ship fly more smoothly through liquid water. They built models and tank-tested them. Results were inconclusive, but what a great idea! -- You both would have enjoyed the seminars.
Olivia and Grant are growing like weeds, aren't they. I am really enjoying your blog.
Later,
Chris
