OUR MARINA FALL SUPPER

Each year at the end of the boating season, here at the marina, we have our "Fall Supper". 



 

 This gives us all a last chance to see each other and socialize, before we all go our separate ways for the winter season. 







The hardiest of the bunch, tough it out here in Manitoba, there is even one boater that goes even further north, to work up in northern Alberta, but that's exceptional. 

A lot of us retired boaters head south. A few to Florida, some to Arizona, and one couple are regulars in St. Lucia. 







But as for us, we head down to south Texas.  Two and a half days drive straight south and we are in our little piece of heaven called Paradise Park in McAllen Texas.  http://www.paradiseparkinc.com/ 
The Rio Grande Valley is a very popular winter destination for Manitoba and Ontario retirees.  Some days it seems like the Manitoba and Ontario license plates out number the Texans. 




We had a great wind up dinner.  Good food and good company and some of us ended the evening with a roaring campfire on the island. 
THE END OF ONE SEASON AND ON TO THE NEXT
