So after a couple of false starts late last year I was finally able to make it to Smugglers Cove and it was worth the wait because... I LOVE THIS PLACE and can’t wait to get back! (Picture Martin shuddering)

So let me tell you about Smuggler’s Cove - you know the Kick-Ass Rum Bar! Oh sure Captain Hook would feel at home here but so would Captains Cook, Bligh and Crunch as well as John Paul Jones (Both the Revolutionary War Hero and the Led Zeppelin Bassist) I did see some Tikis in there and they looked very much at home but I’m going to call it a Kick-Ass Rum Bar I really don’t think you can go wrong with that.

When I walked in I was greeted by friends - The Midnites, Tikitastic, Notch, Rum Runner and Coco Loco they all agreed that I needed a drink (Keep in mind I was only going to have 2, oh and that I was in a bar.) So still working on my collection of Mai Tai pictures I started with a Mai Tai –

Reza: What can I get you? (Or something like that)

Me: Just a Mai Tai.

Reza: Oh it won’t be "Just a Mai Tai"

and it wasn’t, it was a magically delicious Mai Tai - Thank you Reza!

With my Mai Tai in hand Notch gave me a tour, it is an amazing place, on the upper deck I really like looking out at the armada of fish float lamps, in my opinion it's the best view in the city.
On the main deck the hunt for the 6 skulls kept me busy for part of the night, on the lower level I was greeted by both L.A. friends (Bigbro, Naomi, Kevin and Jody) and San Francisco friends (Mai Tai, Rebecca, Martin and Otto)

My drink was finished and it was time for another - The Rum Barrel was chosen and didn’t disappoint it was tasty and lasted a while. - Thank you Reza!

Things get a little blurry after that - a Fog Cutter - Thank you Reza! Somewhere near the end there was a Cuba Libre - Thank you Reza! And I think a glass of water - Thank you Reza! I remember spilling swizzles in the street as everyone had loaded me up with them, I was a little top heavy but got them all back to my room safely. What a great night, thanks everyone I look forward to going back…but maybe not on the ridiculously awful Bay to Breakers weekend!

Stay turned for the next chapter …What was I doing there? :o
