November 7 - 13
It was another great week in the Bower life! The combination of cruising with Anticipation, time at the condo, and great friends made for a wonderful week. The drive over was peaceful and the Suburban was jam packed as usual. Tuesday was a day for accomplishments, new anchor chain was installed, a little housekeeping was done, a bit of decor adjustment and all is well!
We were finally in town (Orange Beach) for one of the wine dinners put on by local restaurant owners. This one was at Zen Restaurant on the corner of Hwy 161 and Perdido Beach Blvd. We met a couple in the parking lot; Busha & Dave...turns out Busha babysits for the restaurant owners and one of the chefs. What a character! We shared a dinner table with them and laughed the entire time! Dinner was fine, wine was great, and the laughter was priceless! The wine dinner concept was interesting and I look forward to doing it again sometime. Check out Villaggio Grille, Ginny Lane Bar & Grill, Zen Restaurant, and Elli Bistro on line for dates and details, they usually have something happening every month!
We made the move from Anticipation to the condo Thursday afternoon and my wonderful husband sent me out with the camera to capture God's artwork as he unloaded the car! This shot is one of my favorites, it truly depicts the peacefulness we experience when we spend time at our home away from home.
It's Friday!!! With great friends aboard we took Anticipation out for a short run to the new Tacky Jacks accross from Lulu's for an array of appetizers and a couple of Rum drinks :-)
Meet Bob & Beverly Bacardi...aka Kell & Shelley Remkes
Here we are incognito as Rachel & Robert Rum....Can you see where this day is going?
As usual, I enjoy the natural beauty of our waterways
My handsome captain and wonderful guests
Cruising with the Remkes'
Back to the condo...refill the Rum drinks for a beach walk at sunset...photo time!
I am exrtremely grateful to be spend my life with this amazing man!
Great smile Kell! Nothing like a little Rum to loosen you up! lol
Love those seagulls! However, beware not to feed them if you are planning to lay out in peace!
I will never grow tired of the beautiful sunsets, I am in awe every day!
Amazing sunset.... Amazing couple!
Saturday
It was difficult to top our Friday with the Remkes' but we really enjoyed another day of cruising! Dolphin cruisers attract lots of action! I have to wonder if they feed them in order to get the dolphins to follow... this boat must have had 8-10 dolphins swimming behind it. I was lucky enough to snap at just the right moment to capture one jumping!
Always a tug boat and barge or two in the area!
Looks like someone will be bringing dinner home!
To Kell & Shelley...we always enjoy your company & look forward to more cruising with you guys!
