Another Beautiful Weekend in Paradise

I had another great weekend in paradise this week. I played a great round of golf at Craft Farms this weekend, followed by a delicious meal at their Clubhouse. If you ever need to fill up after a round and catch some football on the big screens I heartily recommend the Cotton Creek Club sandwich. It’s awesome!!
Sunday we met some friends for a leisurely boat ride in near perfect conditions. Just enough breeze to keep it cool and the water was perfect. We took a ride from the Bon Secour River, down the Intercoastal to Pirate’s Cove in Josephine, Alabama. The cheeseburgers are great there.
A quick note: it’s not too late to book a room for the Shrimp Festival. As always, courtesy of my good friends at Brett Robinson, I’ll be staying at the Phoenix All Suites. It’s right next door to the Festival and it’s a great place to stay. If you see me there, be sure to say hello!

The End of Summer

It’s been a great summer on Pleasure Island. Concerts, fishing trips, golf, fine dining, boat races…the list goes on and on. We’re approaching the traditional end of summer this weekend with the Labor Day Weekend. And it’ll end with a bang with a pair of concerts at The Wharf. Saturday night country star Gretchen Wilson comes to town. On Sunday, Alabama’s own American Idol winner Taylor Hicks performs for what should be an enthusiastic crowd including his Grandmother who lives on the Island.
Allegedly, fall will soon begin, but truthfully it’s summer all year long here.

Thunder In The Forecast

This weekend is the 5th Annual Thunder on the Gulf Power Boat Races. The race is held just offshore in Orange Beach, providing great views from the beachfront condos and the beach. The course will also be ringed by literally hundreds of spectator boats. It’s a great spectacle and something everyone should see at least once. The power and speed of the boats is amazing, it’s truly NASCAR on the water. Look for me on the balcony at Phoenix V. See you at the races!!
