Before we started our Kayak races..the closer to the end of Happy Hour seemed....Welllll...somewhat cold, and maybe not worthwhile.....so we started doubting our Kayak races....LOL.(Above is my fav appetizer at this point in my life.....Smoked Salmon aboard a Flax Seed cracker with cream cheese and capers! This picture makes my mouth water just looking at it.....)
As we boarded our little boat to cruise over to Randy and Carmens...I couldn't help but smile at this cute afternoon family outing....these Gondola's are a bit pricey...and they ALWAYS crack me up to see the rowing skipper pushing along against the tide....with a boat full, enjoying their cocktails, or the lovers bound under a blanket...he's got the task...and he works so hard to make this trip special. These folks seemed to really enjoy that BEAUTIFUL afternoon.....They made me smile inside.
Our friends.....
Are we ready?
I gave commands while my rower was blindfolded. We won too! Guess I'm good at bossing around? lol!
I have to say at this point I was a little worried....not so much about us losing, but about our friends dunking or crashing into us! haha! My shirt spells out THUG. haha!!
Bringing in the win......YEAAA!!!!! Notice Randy to the left...nice and peaceful and DRY on his paddleboard.
Russ and Jodi. Our sailing friends that race as a hobby...of course took the rest of the wins...!
Larry and Bill decide to take a round....
Goodtimes.....
Buddies for many years...Randy and Bill
It took something rude to get Randy in this position on his board.
Yea...that longtime friend named Bill?....Rudely snuck behind the peaceful paddleboarder and knocked him off! LOL!
Good laughter for dockside!
Girls...."Go get em!"
Carmen, Jodi, Brenda and Cheryl
This is where you soak after coming out of the cool harbor water....into a 101 temp Jacuzzi....awwww......
An amazing dinner shared by our group. Longtime friends...coming together, breaking bread...toasting to the end of Summer....Thank you Russ for the amazing BBQ'd meats...the salads by Brenda and Vicky were amazing....The always perfect hospitality The Reynolds give. Carmen always makes the atmosphere just cozy and warm enough. Their beautiful place.....The perfect night........growing old together, keeping eachother reminded of what's really important. Bonds. Friendships. Family.
JD, Vicky, Larry and Cheryl.....and of course the other silly's in the background that you can't see too well.....Ohh, that'd be me!
My buddies...Carmen and Brenda. Both share the love for Helping the helpless, homeless and abused animals.......3 Big hearts scrunched together there.....
The wild bunch down yonder......look at that sun kissed sky......
These two lovebirds were celebrating their 3rd Anniversary with us.....Bob and Brenda..Happy Anniversary.....!
And THIS folksssss....is WHAT you get WHEN you mix Cocktails and dessert. I guess you can't seem to find your mouth with your spoon. Is he sotally tober? HAHA!!! Fun afternoon and evening with friends...along the water....with big cheers to the sunset.
