Wally takes a splash!

Last Sunday, we got Wally out on the water for the first time this season. We are always a tad bit nervous the first time out as you never know what's going to happen when you turn the key. While Wally was a bit slow to start, once all that gunk that built up over the winter was coughed out, he was just like new.

There were tons of boats out on the water and the wind was whipping a bit so it made for choppy waters, but it was still a great ride. We had decided ahead of time that we would celebrate our first day out by taking the boat over to Tim's River Shore Cafe. I think the best way to describe this place is that while you are there you feel like you are in the middle of a Jimmy Buffett song. There are tons of boats, tons of people, a lot of tattoos, and even sand on their patio area. While they had run out of fresh crabs, we still enjoyed some steamed shrimp and my favorite, oysters on the half shell. We are looking forward to going back there throughout the summer, especially when crabs are more plentiful!
