Today's run (a drive actually, it would be a looong way to run) took five, then six cars down to Spinney's sea food take-out in St. Martins. The weather was excellent (it's about time too) and only got warmer as we wandered down the not-horrible 102 heading south. The ferries at Evandale and Belleisle Bay provided fun little breaks, just long enough to stretch one's legs and chat a bit.
Once in Long Pointe, JD (DeWitt not Irving) took control and led us via a scenic route into Hampton where we met Carol and John Dixon. There was a quick and informal CoC (Change of Command) and with the blue Porsche now in the lead, we continued towards the coast. As we drove along we could feel the Atlantic breeze cooling the temps a bit. The air also seemed crisper and cleaner.
I had assumed that most folks would be going out on Monday, the long weekend, leaving Sunday relatively quiet. I was wildly wrong. The parking lot was packed and cars lined the streets. Despite the throng of people, we received our orders quickly and sat down to eat as the coastal wind did its best to liberate anything lightweight. The star of the show was Barb and Gary's choice of the 'Seafood Feast'. The picture tells the story and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who'll be ordering that the next time we visit.
There was an offer to visit the sea caves not far from the restaurant but it was declined due to the lateness of the day. I'm determined to visit the place again (maybe late in June?) and this time go earlier so that we can visit the sea caves.
Thanks to all who attended, we all seemed to have a great outing.
