Soooo...(sing with me now)..
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship....
The mate was a mighty sailing man,
[Gilligan took all the pictures and forgot to take one of himself...oops]
The skipper brave and sure.
[Fearless leader Captain Tom F]....

Five passengers set sail that day
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.
[(L-R) Ginger (Linda), Mrs. Howell (Barb), MaryAnn (Pat)...

The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the Aqua Patio crew
The view of the FULL MOON would be lost, the view of the FULL MOON would be lost!!!
[Hey, Mr. Millionaire.....the Full Moon is over the "other" left shoulder]...

The ship motored around on the surface of this uncharted Midwest Lake
With Gilligan
The Skipper too,
The millionaire and his wife,
The movie star
The professor (TBD) and Mary Ann,
Here on The Aqua Patio Full Moon Float Nite.
(So it doesn't rhyme...get over it!)
So this is the tale of the castways,
They're here for a long, long time (or at least 10:30 pm),
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's an uphill climb
...Like watching a beautiful sunset over cries of "hand me another cold one" and "where's the bottle opener"...

....and watching other vessels off our starboard...or is that the Part side...who knows?...

...then suffering a mirage of what Fraley's house looks like...

...."Hey quick, someone get the Doors album "FULL MOON RISIN" and crank it up baby"!!!!....

The first mate and the Skipper too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
In the Aqua Patio nest.
....Thank goodness there were no clouds tonite or the First Mate would have had to give his best impression of the Full Moon, not a good thing when trying to make others comfortable!...

No phone, no (running) lights no motor cars,
Not a single luxury (except the open air men's room),
Like Robinson Crusoe,
As primative as can be.
...did some foreign country just shoot a lazer guided missle at the moon?...

...Good Night Moon..

So join us here each week my friends,
You're sure to get a smile,
From seven (actually we only had 6) stranded castways,
Here on the FHC Full Moon Float Nite "Aqua Patio Isle."
