I like reading “Three Perfect Days” in United's Hemispheres magazine. Its fun to see what someone with pretty much an unlimited budget does in various places around the globe. Today we had One Perfect Day. The weather was spectacular. Clear skies, a good breeze and not humid. We picked Lambert Bay simply because it was the closest beach on the North Side. We didn't realize that it was a resort. The beach of course is public and what a beach it is. A long arc of soft white sand with waves that break 100 yards out and roll on in. A nice parade of boats throughout the day completes the picture. While the beach wasn't deserted, it was far from packed and we had all the space we wanted Not sure the Lambert Bay Resort is doing all that well, but we did our part with lunch and drinks.
On our early morning walk we stopped to talk to a fellow unloading a boat at the Last Resort dock. He's one of the chefs. We told him we would be over at 7:30. The Last Resort pretty much takes up the entire nub of a rock that its on. You get there by dialing from the dock and over comes a shore boat to take you across. It seemed like a small crowd when we arrived but the place filled up quickly. We had a bottle of Australian Sauvignon Blanc and a goat cheese appetizer as a starter. I ordered the red snapper and Melodee had the lobster linguine. Fresh seafood is readily available so we take full advantage. The meals were tasty and well presented; service was a bit chaotic.
We were getting set to leave when the entertainment started to set up and one of the guitarist's friends said we really should stay. We did, it wasn't and we left a bit later. It wasn't that he was bad, his act relied upon most of the crowd being liquored up and it was going to be a while before they were.
One Perfect Day.
