High Tea at Low Sea

A day has passed since High Tea at Low Sea yet the smiles continue.  I am finding it quite difficult to describe in words what it is like to participate in High Tea at Low Sea. It is easy to say this is a unique event. Explaining the divine 'happening' when the seaweed carpeted land is exposed and china tea cups clink over delicacies artfully arranged on white linens, I don't 'think there's enough descriptor words to do it justice. We simply feel - know- and understand this day is special. This year was the 10th anniversary and what a day it was! The weatherman predicted unprecedented temperatures this year, but we had our way - 75 degrees with a slight breeze. The power of the imagination ruled the day. You would have to have a pretty hard shell not to feel the juicy goodness and joy shared on this day.

 

Not the complete crew... we are still gathering.

 

 

Heat Stroke warnings and precautions reviewed.

 

  Many, many thanks to C-3, our tow/ chase boat and to Vern and Debby

our co-conspirators in making magic happen.

 

 

Also in attendance - the Joe. The Joe was the Verite's first tow boat in 2004.

 

 

Wycoff Shoal is just barely showing at this point.

 

 

Helper boats arrive.

 

 Do you have the...? Where's the....? I have the silver!

 

 

There's always time for a story. Apparently the fish was this  --------- big.

 

 

Mushroom, something something, pate - OMG it was good.

 

A remembrance from the first High Tea in 2004. Robin is with us in spirit still.

 

 

Pretty ladies out for a stroll.

 Within this happy circle....

Oh, my the glorious food!

 

And this is how you get back into the boat... they drag you back in with a long rope!

Just kidding! Ha ha.

 

The land disappears as quickly as it appeared -by magic really.

 

 

 

Ripples on the water and the clouds fly away.

What a special treasure we take away.

This is how the WOWer's play.

We encourage you to make your own Tea-day,

in your own special way.

For life is short and meant to be sweet,

don't miss a moment to make it unique.

A special hug and thanks go to Voski and all her minions; Vern and Debby for transporting the boat, and Maria for shepherding the boat back and forth. To the bringers of love filled food - yum.
