Five Anchor Servers

Our Five Anchor Server section honors the excellent servers we have met at different ports.  If you are a boater you are familiar with the term, "drop the anchor."  It means you've found the perfect spot to spend some time and so you drop the anchor.  The servers recognized here are people who have made our dining experiences special.

GARNET

Harbourside Bar and Grill South Seas Island Resort, Captiva Island FL u2014 Garnet became one of our favorites because he was easy going, detail oriented and very polite. We requested him every time we dined there. When Momma Judy was visiting for her birthday, he surprised us with a birthday dessert and candle. Thanks, Garnet for your thoughtfulness and excellent service.

DEVON

Saltus, Beaufort, SC u2014 We were greeted warmly by Devon and it was immediately clear that she was excellent at her job. She was never rushed and spent time explaining menu items and giving us her favorites. Her service was truly five anchor and her wonderful personality made it even better. She is a visual artist by day and usually works one night a week there, so we got lucky! Thanks Devon, and all the best to you.

NOAH

Water Street Cafe, Stonington, CT u2014 Our experience at Water Street Cafe was so excellent we went back. They nailed it again with the food and service. Noah was engaging, witty and on top of every detail. Thanks for the excellent experience Noah. (Pictured next to him is Jake another terrific employee there.)

LORI

Spoon River, Belhaven, NC u2014 Lori was attentive and really just a lovely person with a soft demeanor and good sense of humor. She made perfect drink suggestions and was knowledgeable about the menu, giving a little backstory on some of the offerings. We really enjoyed our time with you Lori! Thank you for the excellent service.

DARCY

Fish & Slips, Tidewater, VA u2014 Darcy was very proper, extremely polite, very sweet. and a great server. We also learned she was a lawyer!...and became a personal trainer after her struggle and success with weight loss. Three jobs and working toward paying off her college tuition u2014 so admirable! Good luck Darcy and rock on!

Spike’s Chasing 80 Pain Killer

When our friends, Kevin and Jill invited us to cocktail hour on their beautiful Chris Craft Chasing 80 at Stock Island Marina Village, they had whipped up what would become one of our favorite go-to rum drinks. The first Pain Killer we ever had was at the infamous Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke, BVI and Kevin and Jill’s is an easy rival! Too many and they are a truth serum – well played Jill!

2 oz of Pusser Rum
2 oz Pineapple Juice
1 oz of Cream of Coconut
1 oz of Orange Juice
Dash of Freshly Grated Nutmeg (after drink is poured)
Shake rum, coconut, pineapple and orange juice well to mix. Pour over ice then dust with nutmeg.
No pain, no brain!
