Thanksgiving 2010 Lunch at the Tides

About 30 miles downriver from the RYC is Carter's Creek and the wonderful resort of the Tides Inn. Alas the Miss Ann is no longer alongside the dock. Clockwise starting at 7pm: Maria, Chris, Margaret, Eric, Hazel, my vacant seat, Patti, Michael (hiding), Tamara, and David L. and we are only on the first course! Michael and Maria were our gracious hosts!

Tides Inn warm up

Post Thanksgiving lunch, we worship Vulcan the God of Fire - Carter's Creek and the Rappahannock River behind us.

Main Course Arrives at RYC on the Hoof

As luck would have it Venison is on the RYC menu, however this trio of deer have made the RYC their habitat and they are so sensible... fresh Lyriope, baby Holly bush sprigs, Black Eyed Susans, and their favorite Azeleas! They must know that in the hunting season, town and marina property are off limits and they remain perfectly safe.
