A Windy Day on Mason Creek

by

We haven’t been out on the boat in awhile due to the busy holiday season and when we had a free day it was usually too cool or the water was too low.  But we had another gorgeous weekend, the tide was up, so we set out on the boat yesterday to see what we could see…

Our House
After the boat started right up, we were off!

I’m going to throw some real estate in so you too can buy a place in Perfect. 

This is a lot around the corner.  Completely undeveloped.  $135,000.  Zowie!

a lot
It has a nice view but it will cost big buckets of money to get the septic tank and meet all the other requirements for building on the water across from federal preserve land.
Flag
See that flag, it really was a breezy ride.

Here’s an island for sale. With a house and dock already on it.

And this place is landside and comes with it! Gotta have a place to dock your boat when you go get groceries!

Another nice piece of property right on the point. That would have an amazing view of Mason Creek and Battle Creek. A short boat ride to the Gulf or to the Homosassa River.

Here’s a bunch of gulls hanging out on a oyster bar. Too breezy to fly?  Or maybe just taking it easy on a Sunday.
Casa de La Fuestes
One last piece of property for you to purchase. If I only had a gazillion dollas!

We got to Petty Creek that takes us over to the Homosassa River and decided that it was just too windy.  We’ll save that for a calm day!

Uptown Pickers at the Shed

Uptown Pickers
It must be Christmas since there is a tree hanging upside down in the Shed!

We had a super great sunny weekend. 

It was one of those weekends that out-of-town guests decide that they are moving here permanently.  One of those weekends that those guys that are fracking in ND decide that there’s got to be a better way.  One of those weekends that let Florida push New York State out of the third most populous spot. 

Just want to remind all of those people about reality.  We have no-see-ums that will make you cry.  We have banana spiders that are as big as your hand.  We have mosquitos that will suck every ounce of blood out of you.  And if that doesn’t convince you to stay where you are, we have HURRICANES! Rick Scott! Duke Energy!

Okay.  Enough anti-propaganda. 

Yesterday we went down to the Shed in Old Homosassa to listen to the “Uptown Pickers”.  They play there quite often but never on a Sunday that we are actually home.  So I was pretty excited when I saw them listed as the band for the weekend.  With a name like Pickers, gotta be bluegrass, Right?  Gotta have a banjo, Right?

Wrong.  They were good but it was just your normal everyday “oldies and some goldies with a little bit of blues and a whole lot of country” band.  Still fun.  But no banjo.

So this guy really loves the Bucs or those are his Christmas shoes.

And he was rockin’ out!

So the Uptown Pickers was a really good band and the place was crazy packed.  We got there before they started and there were still no tables.  But we just kind of hung out by the rail until a smelly man decided to stand by me.  Ohhhhh, Myyyyyy.

We rode our bikes there, of course.  Can you spot them?

Uptown Pickers at the ShedYeah, ours are the ones with no motors….

But if I had a Harley, I would look real purty on this one…

Pretty bikeOr maybe this one….

bikeBut I don’t.  I’m more the corvette type.  But I’d really like to get some of those really cool biker boots.

Hey, come back tomorrow.  I have more pics from another outing!  More photos to tempt my northern readers to leave all that snow behind!
