Dinner Cruise

The only thing better than a boat ride and the wind blowing in our ears  is when we boat with food!   So we were pretty dog gone excited to head out for a dinner cruise. . . A little lighter fare than what is offered on The Catawba Queen~ But something for every dog~ And people…

Anchors Aweigh for Memorial Day

Memorial Day kicks off the summer  boating season on the lake!  Although we generally refrain from boating on major holidays to avoid the crowds, we have been known to weigh anchor early in the morning or enjoy a late evening cruise.  In anticipation of the holiday, I’m setting sail into summer with  appetizer boats and wooden buoys…

Barefoot and Boat Time

We had the good fortune to visit Puerto Rico recently and enjoy a little barefoot and boat time while we were there. A day of fun in the sun on a catamaran sail~ A little refreshment and fruit after an afternoon on the beach~ A pair of kiwifruit mice were hiding in plain sight  garnishing the…

Boating with Dogs

We had a break in the weather with sunny skies and temperatures in the high 50′s the day of our Love Boat Cruise~ Perfect for a short boat ride. . . and to bask in the sun . . . and to enjoy some scenery~ Blatant disregard for private property and no trespassing notices :)…

Setting Sail

Since I’m no sailor, I picked up a few nautical pillows from HomeGoods to help me with my sailing terminology~ Enamel Boat Appetizer Dishes from Pottery Barn…

Regatta Boat Drinks

We spent some time boating and enjoying a couple of regattas on the lake recently~ admiring the boats & colored sails. It floats my boat to spy new and clever boat names to add to my collection :)  Last year during our week-long stay at Harbor Island, we dined at Sweetgrass Restaurant & Bar at the Dataw…

A Maple Leaf Boat Tour

We went on a whirlwind tour of Victoria when we visited Vancouver, British Columbia in May. The day we tiptoed through the tulips at Butchart Gardens, we walked through downtown Victoria. And on a lark, down to the marina~ A boat owner coming off the water, saw me with my camera, peering through the gate…
