If anything can make turning the big 5 0 less painful it is good friends comming out to day Happy Birthday. And they had to make a journey to get there. We partied it up in Avalon. My happy place.
Night one was a nice dinner on the boat. Friends who came all the way from Monterey were able to joint us our on Ramblin and Mutual Fun for Thursday nights dinner.
I was so happy to share the sights and the Avalon experience with Kevin and Joanna. They seemed to love it up.
Friday we set up for a nice Beach BBQ and dinner out at Pebbly Beach with the help of Rocky. The food was terrific as rocky had his BBQ and Smoker going.
Then on Saturday after a nice day of relacing on the water side we went further ashore for a fabulous high end eating experience at the Catalina Island Country Club.
I will always remember the welcome I got as I walked up the hill and the gathering came out on the balcony and sang happy birthday as I arrived. Very touched by that. Thank you to all of you.
It was a magnificent experience to have such goof food and such good company. Wine flowed and good conversation went around the table from all corners.
And we ate. Then Ate. Then ate more.
One of my oldest friends Kevin was on hand.
Half of my friends who came out to my birthday party in Avalon a few weeks ago gave me various bottles of beer for my B-Day gifts. So very darned nice of them to appreciate my love of beer. Maybe they noticed it in all my Facebook posts and in my hand in so many of my fishing photos.
Sunday a few of us got in some golf. Here Thomas and I are preparing to tee it up on number 8
Sunday night we were more mellow. Having been moved to a choice 30 foot mooring we relaxed on the back of the boat.
We sat on the back of the boat and took in the views. Nice Yes?
Fish Wish Granted.
Thank you to those who came. Thank you to those who remembered with a card or a call.
Sincerely,
Keith
