Great Day for Boaters

It was a great day for boaters recently when we watched from the porch

 of The Sand Bar Restaurant. Several boaters left the city marina

 for a smooth ride on a calm Alabama River.

Lunch at The Sand Bar

The Sand Bar is open, folks, and the view is as great as the food!

We tried the catfish basket and burger by the river

 and were "happy, happy, happy" that we did! 

Prices are very reasonable, and the view of the City Marina is beautiful.

 Plus, the day of our lunch, the Harriett II, a 19th Century riverboat

 docked at Montgomery, paddle-wheeled by. But wouldn't you know it,

 I had just put up my camera and could not get to it before the boat was downriver.

Bringing in the Boat

The city marina was busy last Friday as people took advantage of the warm weather and smooth river conditions. 

Speedboats and fishing boats headed into and out

of the Alabama River all day.
