Linking with other water lovers at NATURE FOOTSTEPS: WATERS.
Our first Upriver Boat Club Lunch Cruise of the season was downriver to Cape Coral. It was a post-card pretty day along the river. At home, the morning started out a little breezy, but by the time we got underway it was a perfect day for boating. After lunch, one friend who drove to the Cape (you can get there by car, if you must*) took pictures of all of us as we passed. That's me in back of our boat taking pictures of Tom taking pictures of us......
... and below right, Tom taking pictures of .... well, you can figure it out!
On the bottom left are our friends Don and Patty, whose boat is almost exactly like ours, with our friends Connie and Dave in the back. With us is our friend Jerry. We had a flotilla of five boats and several people who drove***.

*** (Which is much faster but much less scenic.) Thanks to Tom for most of the pictures.
Love the summer look in these shots.

Oh, Sallie, I felt like I was right there on the water with you (of course, all of our water is frozen here right now, tee hee). What fun! A flotilla of friends on a sunny day.

The more the merrier in a flotilla of friends headed for lunch together.
I had to take a second look because it looks the same here, Sallie.

What a great day to be out!
Lovely photos and you sure the heck make me envious!

Brings back not-so-distant memories of boat trips on the Chesapeake Bay.
