After relaxing at Middle Bass we decided it was time to try the party island of South Bass. We took the first available ferry - 11am.
 |
| The ferry is a fishing tug |
Put in Bay was pretty quiet as we arrived, lots of empty slips, but we were not there on the weekend, it was a Friday. We stopped first for lunch at the main pier, The Boardwalk, where I had delicious lobster bisque. We then walked up to the winery where we had a tour of it and the Crystal Cave.
 |
| The cave was quite small and very tight quarters. |
 |
| But the crystals were amazing, naturally occurring, 14 sided and a dusty blue/green. |
The wine tour was brief and unexceptional and the wines were quite sweet. Sharon and I hit the chocolate store, Paul and Gill the bar upstairs and the rest went to another set of caves. Then the barhopping and shopping started in earnest.
 |
We put an X through each bar as we drank there (actually I had a few virgin Mojitos as I was not
planning on keeping pace with the die hard drinkers) |
 |
Crossing the street we had to dodge cars and golf carts, many driven by tourists who
didn't really know how to drive them. |
 |
We finished up the bar hopping back by the bay, where there is a nice park with flowers, fountains
and cannons. The slips were also getting full up with boats in for the races. |
We had an excellent supper at Hooligans (Irish Pub) and then hit one last bar before catching the last ferry back to Middle Bass (at 9pm)
 |
| Two happy drunks. |
 |
| Shark shots. Yep, shots served in sharks! |
Some of us (Ok, I think it was Andy and I) sang loudly and badly, on the ferry ride home.
