Mary enlisted two of Annette's friends to be her co-judges, and the competition
was so fierce that they were looking for stories to support the great selection
of shirts on display. They might have gotten a few free drinks along the
way too.
On another note, the 6:30pm HST fly-over was observed by a few just as the award
being announced.

It
was a cool evening with a very hot competition, as Akumal came out in force to
celebrate the first Friday of the month, and to partake in the BLACK SOCK
support and solidarity for Tom Baxter's recuperation. Considering the cool
temperature, the consensus was that Tom might just be onto something wearing
socks to the Beach Bar.
