AH...... SUNDAY

I love Sundays.  The hustle and bustle of the weekend continues for most of the day, but come supper time things take a gradual turn.      . 

Today started off with another re-naming ceremony.  This time for Derek Debets.  Many of us turned out to celebrate this occasion with him.  Most of us put on silly nautical hats supplied by Boyd and Gayle.   
 
 

 
Derek (with the help of his Dad) has made many changes to the vessel previously know as "Margaret" and is today re-naming her "Double D's".   
 
 
The Captain ceremoniously discarded the previous name, into the Seas. 
 
 

And everyone in attendance toasted the new name from shore. 
 
 
 
"Here's to Double D's"
 
Some champagne was poured for luck and a lot more was drunk in celebration of this occasion. 

 
 
 
 
and a good time was had by all. 
 
The party then moved onto the island where there was wonderful food and more good times. 
 
Then as usual come Sunday afternoon, things started to wind down and the normal Sunday evening hush falls over the beach as everyone prepares and resigns themselves to getting back to their weekly routines. 
 
IT'S GREAT TO BE RETIRED
