It is that time of year

The tide is high and so that means the grand exodus for deep draft boats has begun.

Pickings are slim here on the Rio.  A very quiet year.  Most people didn't stay with their boats.  We did stay with our boat and took advantage of some events here on the Rio Dulce.

Janet and Russ manage Tortugal Marina here on the river.  They have taken movie night to a new high.  A free launch ride, 2 pieces of pizza (the best on the river) and an outdoor theater.  What fun we have had with a double feature of Alfred Hitchcock's, Rear Window and North by Northwest.  I still can't believe that Eva Marie Saint was able to traverse Mount Rushmore in an A-Line skirt and high heels.
Just when I thought that I had died and gone to heaven with the pizza, we headed over yesterday to Tortugal for Sunday Breakfast Buffet.


Damn it Janet!  I love you.  All you can eat fresh fruit, cinnamon rolls, and coffee.  Then the good, I mean really good stuff came out.  Included in the cost was one mimosa, a gigantic piece of baked french toast with praline topping and a huge slice of homemade crab quiche!  I almost forgot, you also got a serving of toasted English muffins with smoked salmon and capers.

So the next time Tortugal has a Breakfast Buffet call in your reservation.  You won't be sorry.
