Lobster on the Last Day of Summer


Today, Sunday September 8, will be the last full day of our cruise for this summer.  Tomorrow we go up to Royal River Boatyard where we will haul out in a few days.  The day started out with rain, but a cold front came through and it was clearing by mid-morning.  The day became really memorable when a friend who was hauling his traps nearby came and offered us two nice lobsters.

Ready to serve in the cockpit.  The way they should be enjoyed: just lobster and melted butter.

"Wicked good" as they say around here.
