Snoopy's

 

Got our fish and chips fix.  It was cold, so no dinner on the deck.  We stayed warm by the fire.

 

A great fireplace.  An old ship’s boiler cut apart, hung with chains, and vented out through the ceiling.

 

Check out the floor mount.

 

They like their classic outboard motors there.

 

 

 

 

They remind me of the old Mercury and Neptune outboards Dad had at Lake Wohlford.  As I recall, the Mercury had a cover, but the Neptune had the open top so you could wrap the start pull rope around the wheel.  Maybe something like this.  The older brothers might remember better.  They might have been old enough to actually drive the boat (if Dad would let them).

 

We drove south from the cold wind on the beach and have returned to Sandpipers.  Tomorrow’s forecast high here is in the seventies.
