We had a very busy weekend. What with our disastrous cruise on Friday, then Art's memorial on Saturday afternoon. Then that night we were invited to our friends Gord and Ellie Gowie's Anniversary party. While we were there we arranged to take them and their out of town guests for a cruise Sunday afternoon.
Ellie had a lot of leftover salads etc. from her wonderful party, so she volunteered to bring the leftover food and we would make it a "Dinner Cruise".
So, Sunday afternoon Ellie arrived, with Gord's sister Brenda and Brenda's husband John and a cooler full of food. Gord is the Gimli harbour master and was working until late afternoon, so we cruised on up to Gimli to pick him up.
I took pictures, while Dan and John chatted and the bathing beauties basked in the sun on our cruise north.
After picking up Gord we cruised on out of Gimli Harbour and headed south towards the mouth of the Red River with Gord and Ellie on the bow this time.
Then around 6:00pm we shut Thunderbird down and bobbed around out on the lake just off of Winnipeg Beach for dinner.
We had a wonderful dinner and I didn't even have to cook.
Then we putted on back into the harbour.
When you hang around a marina "Out" means, "Out there on the water".
ie. What's it like " out " there? You taking your boat " out" ? You been " out" yet? Out means anywhere out of the harbour.
So if we go for a cruise and have a Bar-B-Q, That's what Dan calls " Taking me out for dinner."
HEY, IT WORKS FOR ME.
