Vera's Beach Club, Overall Pics, July 24 - 25, 2009

Vera's pool. It is a salt water pool and is pretty nice.
Vera's, up on the hill.

View of the beach, before the bikini contest the next day.

View of Pier 1.

This is a shot of Vera's old house we got when we were leaving.

It is right next door to the Vera's Restaurant / Bar.

We were told they are going to make it a bed and breakfast place.

Now I'd like to sea that as well.

The story has it that Vera was a movie starlet and there are pictures of her all over the place.

She died a couple of years ago and the place was bought by Steve and his wife Lisa.

They have done a really nice job of fixing up the place.

Not only do boaters come but there were a lot of Harleys there too.

Spring Cove Marina, Solomons Island, July 22-23, 2009

When we first got to Spring Cove Marina, we settled in and some of us wanted to go to a restaurant we had gone to before called "The Dry Dock". It is located at another marina called Zahniser's Yachting Center. We looked into getting a cab but decided to just take our boat over. So we called to make a reservation.
When we showed up for dinner, they had this reservation sign up on the "T" head for us.
I thought that was a real touch of class.
And it certainly brought a big smile to my wife's face when we all saw what they had put on the sign.
The name of our Sea Ray boat is my wife's name, "Dawn Rae".

Dry Dock Restaurant, Thank You very much for the reservation and certainly for the sign.
We all appreciated it!
A couple of shots of Spring Cove Marina's swimming pool.

On the deck.

It is a lap pool. Pretty nice.

Some of the group.

Now this is what Vince G. called "his" - "Dream house".

The only thing is, it is not what Kim G. calls "her" dream house!!!!

But it is a pretty nice idea anyway.

Pull your boat in underneath, and go home just up the stairs.

Dow, Dow, Dow, Dow, da, da Dow................

This is Don M's..... boat.........

Need I say more????

Trip to Solomons Island, July 22nd, 2009, The "Fuelish Pleasure".

Andy is our club Fleet Captain this year.
He's done one hell of a job putting together all of these trips.
With quite a bit of help from his wife Jean, I might add.

Their boat is called "Fuelish Pleasure".
And I'm sure there was a reason for that name.

Anyway, I travel a little bit faster than these guys so I passed them along the way.
I took advantage of the passing to grab these really nice boat shots.
My wife Dawn took the pictures while I drove in close to get em.
This is a great shot of your boat Andy!!
Click on it.............

I know you know your boat and how it travels but I'd raise the bow just a little.

Trip to Solomons Island, July 22nd, 2009, The "Barb Z".

Jake and Barb's boat, everyone knows........ "Barb Z".
I think this is a great shot.
And by the way, my wife Dawn took these shots, I just eddited them.
Another good one Barbie.......

More good food.

Herrington Harbour, Beautiful Garden Areas, July 21, 2009

They have beautiful Garden Areas located around that are mostly used for weddings, etc.
They are self explanatory!

Herrington Harbour, Jason's Boat Ride, July 21, 2009

All I can say is this boat is fast.
It is a 40' Formula boat and it does 50 MPH, that's right, 50.
And that is about twice as fast as I go, 26 / 27 MPH.

He was havin some trouble and wanted to go for a test ride.
So, Vince and I wanted to oblidge him and went along to help trouble shoot it.

His wake.

Another view of his wake.

Darn it.........

Lindsey got in the way!
