This week’s drink comes staring slowly across the sky. That’s right, its the Tequila Sunrise made famous by The Eagles and Mel Gibson….although the latter may be a bit of a stretch. This cocktail made its first appearance at the Arizona Biltmore sometime in the late 1930’s when, according to legend, bartender Gene Sulit created the [...]]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/drink-of-the-week-tequila-sunrise/feed/ 0 More Bikini Stuff… http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/more-bikini-stuff/ http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/more-bikini-stuff/#comments Mon, 08 Dec 2008 22:48:59 +0000 mrcrispy http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/?p=241
Well, in looking at our logs, the majority of the traffic is centered around that lovely lady from the Poker Run. I think it’s safe to say that NO ONE here at MandT is surprised by these findings. We strive to please our loyal readers (all 3 of you) so with that in mind, here [...]]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/more-bikini-stuff/feed/ 0 2007 Fireman’s Poker Run http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/2007-firemans-poker-run/ http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/2007-firemans-poker-run/#comments Sun, 30 Nov 2008 22:52:35 +0000 mrcrispy http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/?p=177
Once again Fast Freddy, who is rapidly earning the nickname of “dirty old bastard”, elected himself as the reporter of something to do with women in bikinis. In this case it was the Fireman’s Poker Run. Get this: a bunch of guys with fast cigarette boats drive down the St. John’s River as fast as [...]]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/2007-firemans-poker-run/feed/ 0 Now with Mermaid-O-Vision! http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/now-with-mermaid-vision/ http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/now-with-mermaid-vision/#comments Sun, 30 Nov 2008 20:51:56 +0000 mrcrispy http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/?p=232
Some of you may remember that photo shoot on Sorry Dog’s boat from a couple of days ago. Well there just so happened to be someone there with a video camera.

A little late on the post but there was a bikini competition at the 2007 Jacksonville In-Water Boat Show. Our very own Fast Freddy was there.   Once again because I’m too lazy to type a decent story (and Freddy’s hands are still shaking too much from this project), I’m just going to post the gallery. There [...]]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/2007-jax-boat-show-bikini-competition/feed/ 0 Mermaids, Sorry Dogs and the finished Product http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/mermaids-sorry-dogs-and-the-finished-product/ http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/mermaids-sorry-dogs-and-the-finished-product/#comments Sat, 29 Nov 2008 21:09:37 +0000 FastFreddy http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/?p=77
After 2 years and more money than anticipated, the Sorry Dog Boat is finished.  Let’s follow the Feel Good Girls as they show us around… The pilot house is finished with the brass trim and the mahogany cabinets.  The windows provide an excellent view of the surroundings. The main couch in the Pilot House is big enough for a [...]]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/mermaids-sorry-dogs-and-the-finished-product/feed/ 1 Mermaid of the Moment: Jessica http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/mermaid-of-the-moment-jessica/ http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/mermaid-of-the-moment-jessica/#comments Sat, 29 Nov 2008 20:33:15 +0000 mrcrispy http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/?p=54
We could do some big featured boat type thing for Jessica but we figured we might as well just post some pics this time. Plus this type of a post would be better for grabbing the attention of a passer-by… So without further BS, may I introduce Jessica… Don’t say we never do anything nice for ya… ]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/mermaid-of-the-moment-jessica/feed/ 0 Featured Boat: 1979 60′ Hatteras Sport Fisher http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/featured-boat-1979-60-hatteras-sport-fisher/ http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/featured-boat-1979-60-hatteras-sport-fisher/#comments Sat, 29 Nov 2008 20:17:52 +0000 FastFreddy http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/?p=44
  Our first featured boat is a 1979 60’ Hatteras Sport Fisher At Julington Creek.  It has been completely rebuilt in 2002 and is shown off by our Mermaid Gloria.  Lets take a look around:     This is a classic sports fisher and it comes with all the toys. The flybridge has plenty of room for partying or just relaxing.   Coming [...]]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/featured-boat-1979-60-hatteras-sport-fisher/feed/ 0
