It was a perfect summer's evening as we arrived at the Marina Restaurant on Pengallie Bay.   - click here for full-size pic
...

We had to suffer through drinks on the deck, while ...
...

... the tables inside were being prepared for our onslaught.
...

And a fine group we were!
...

Inside, and ready to eat. Josh has again brought a book in case boredom should strike - a guy after my own heart!!
...

Krystal and her mom, Lisa, take their ordering seriously.
...

Having suitably prepared himself by not eating since his 0745 hrs drive-through Bacon & Egg McMuffin breakfast in Huntsville, Uncle Al will seriously enjoy eating even his salad!
...

While her dad does some paper work, Krystal has been ...
...

... appointed to ...
...

... get a portrait of ...
...

... Alan.
...

Alan approves - to the delight of Krystal and Mary.
...

David looks marginally happier than ...
...

... Josh.
...

Lisa tolerates the camera.
...

No problem capturing Krystal with a big smile, though!
...

Bill Harkins looks pleased with life at Killbear.
...

And Margie was, too - really!
...
Andy has cleverly made it look like Tony is wearing a pirate's earring.
...
Dave Hansman was there with his ...
...

... own personal Bruise Sister!
...

The Bruise Sisters were, in fact, all in attendance: Magnificent Mainsheet Mary ...
...

... also known as M3
...

Juicy Jibing Joan
...
and of course, Luscious Luffing Lori!

As always, Uncle Al had to check the wind direction at regular intervals.
