Heading out of Aqua Yacht with Livin the Dream and Have Another Day was pretty fun on Saturday morning.  There is something about traveling with boats that you know that makes the day of travel a little more exciting.

We ended up in a group of 9 loopers, all heading to the same place.  We thought we were going to anchor while everyone else went to the marina, but in the end, it was a sunny afternoon, and we figured the kids would enjoy the time on land to run wild and free with their buddies, so we went ahead and stayed at the marina.

 

 

Turns out it was a good choice to go to the marina because we had some great entertainment.  First there was the looong line up of boats waiting to get into the marina.

 

Then, the fact that it was a dry county, yet all the captains bought beer upon check in because technically the marina office is on the water, so they don’t have to follow the rules apparently.

 

We stood around in the parking lot drinking beer and let the kids run in the grass.  Eventually the kids wanted to go play in the woods which was fine with us.  However, a local came up (complete with his huge mug of chocolate milk/brandy/coffee combo) and said there are lots of snakes in the woods and it would be best if they didn’t play there.  So the kids settled for lots of screaming and very high swinging on the porch swing.

 

The clubhouse even had a hot tub!!

 

We headed back to the boat for some eggs, sausage, and bagels for dinner.

And were treated to a beautiful sunset before bed.  Another long day tomorrow…

Thanks for following along!!
