I hate to get too optimistic, but the motel phone has been ringing off the hook today and even though it's early on a Fri eve, we've got 6 rms out of 10 occupied. We don't rely on drive ins for business, but it's possible we'll pick up a tourist or two tonight. Reservations seem to be ahead of last year. We're already booking 6 months ahead. What a great sign!
A couple of our guys who are working on the deep water port brought their wives up from Miami for a visit. It must be tough working so far away from family and paying for 2 households. It just shows how far people are willing to go to make a decent living for their families. I admire them for that reason.
The fishing in the canal is great right now. Yesterday some flounder in the 19" range were brought in. The fishermen know to read Dan's fishing report on our website and call us for reservations accordingly. I'll be updating my portion of the website soon, reflecting our new reduced rates for 2009. Gotta be flexible in hard times. That's the way we all win.
