Today was a great day even though it started out with me dealing with office e-mail and drafting documents for a couple of hours. Kudos to my youngest daughter for holding down the fort at the law firm while we are out of town. After lunch, we went out on our hosts' beautiful Intrepid 40' boat from which we flew the Hampton Yacht Club red and blue pennant (shown in the photo above). Cruising around Lighthouse Point and parts of Pompano Beach, I was struck by (i) the wealth in this area and (ii) how much of a backwater Hampton Roads is in comparison. The image below is looking down the creek from out hosts' dock, followed by a shot of one of the boats we saw on our cruise.
To thank our hosts for their hospitality, the boyfriend and I took them (and a friend who they are also hosting) to dinner at the Lauderdale Yacht Club in Ft. Lauderdale proper. Through our Hampton Yacht Club membership, we have reciprocal benefits with yacht clubs around the country (and other parts of the world). The dinner and the club facility were both amazing. Thankfully, our guest membership is good through the day we head back to Virginia. :) A photo of the club's pool and pavilion complex is set out below.
Tomorrow's plans include a visit to Sebastian Beach - the "gay beach" in Ft. Lauderdaler - followed by a get together with friends in Wilton Manor for drinks and dinner. On Saturday, we will be throwing our traditional gay house dinner/party at our hosts' home.
Again, I hope local readers will drop me an email at michaelinnorfolk@gmail.com in the hope that we can perhaps meet for a drink or something.
