Evalena Worthington rehearses being lowered from the mast of a sailing vessel late Tuesday, Dec. 30, 2008, behind the Schooner Wharf Bar in Key West, Fla. The Pirate Wench Drop is one of three Key West celebrations set for New Year's Eve to celebrate the dawn of 2009. Others include the descent of a conch shell at Sloppy Joe's Bar and the lowering of a drag queen in a reproduction of a woman's red shoe at another bar.
