Langford Bay Marina, 9-5-09

Here we are again, settled in on our almost last cruise of the 2009 season.
For some reason, Dawn wishes I would not take these pictures of her on the boat all the time......?????
Anyway, I did, I wanted to, and I'll probably do it again.......
So,..... I decided to move on and take pictures of something else.
This view is looking north out of Langford Bay Marina. Click on it to sea it better. In the center is actually an island called "Casaway Island" The locals go here and anchor out. Seams like a nice place to go and I may do that sometime?
To the left is called the "West Fork" and to the right is called the "East Fork" of "Lankford Creek". "Davis Creek" is not in view but is to the far left.
Here is the Marina store at Langford Bay Marina. They have a lot of stuff in there and it is pretty neet.

The store and some slips.

More slips. We are in the left side - center and close to the store but far from the group again. What's up with that?

Langford Bay Marina - Pool, 9-5-09

They have a nice pool here too. It goes from 3' to 5' deep and is just enough to cool you off.
Here is the beautiful entrance walkway. Notice the signs with the arrows.
The pool before we took over.

Look out, here we are again.

We all had a good time cooling off and drinkin some chillies.

Even Kippy and Nancy got in the water!

Langford Bay Marina - Cookout, 9-5-09

Sat. night we had a group pitch in cook out.
I got this group shot from across the other side of the pier.
We kinda took over the entire picnic area like we did the pool.
We are really not selfish, we share, but we did have to reserve the entire area for the size of the group we had.

Stanley with his boom box.........

Jason, the younger guy on the left, was messin with me. He was giving me faces. I'll fix him!

Jason gave me another face and decided to put something in his mouth.

So..... here he is.......

Not much to say about a cook out!

And finally, I had to ask somebody to take a picture of me with Dawn.

Langford Sunset and Moonrise, 9-5-09

You know I love Sunsets.
The whole sky was like this.....

Now behind us,..... this was going on.

It actually is the Moon rising.

With the position on the sun going across the clouds in the sky it gave it a red tint. It almost looked like the Sun coming up again behind us.

But the sky is not lit up.

And only a few minutes later it started looking more like the Moon.

But notice, it still had a red tint on the water.....

How do you splain... that... Henry???

Which leads me to my poem that I made up:

May The Wind Be At Your Backside.

To Send You Along Your Way.

And Each Day Bring A Glorious Sunset.

So Tomorrow Will Be Another Great Day!

Skipjack - Barbara Batchelder, 9-6-09

This is a beautifully restored and maintained Skipjack that was at the Marina.

Durding's Store - Ice Cream Bike Trip, 9-6-09

Dawn wanted to go for a walk........
And I said, how about a bike ride? Ok, so off we went.
We ended up going 13 miles or so and went into Rock Hall.
While you're there, you might as well go to the Ice Cream store.
MMMmmmmm, good!
Durding's Store has expanded into the other (right) side.
Good ice cream but a little pricey.

Now here's Dawn, and I take a picture of her.
And no kidding, she starts singing this song,
Doot, Da, Doot, Da, Doooo, Do.
Doot, Da, Doot, Da, Do........
Notice the above picture is rather centered........ and it has green foliage in the backround.

And I knew I could crop it down to this picture below.

And then Dawn says......
Let me take a picture of you......
OK........
Now she was........ on my right side and I handed off the camera to her.
And then I here this ......
Oh...... Oh,,,,,,,,
OOOOOOOOO No........
As she snapped this picture of me almost before she went off the left side of the road. Are you alright Honey????
So after she gets her balance she says, let me try another one honey......
OK...
I'm somewhere in the bottom half of the picture..... and I get this lovely "shack" in the backround!
And she says....... "you can crop that and get you better."
So here's the best I could do with that one.
Thanks honey!!!!
I'm thinkin of buying that shack and making a summer home out of it!
It's got a "water view"!

LOL.

Remind me............. next time, go for the WALK!
