Yesterday, 9th August, would have been Steves birthday. It was the first since his passing earlier this year.
We thought we would honour his name by having a meal and raising a glass at one of his favourite destinations.
And so it was that we found ourselves heading up to Mindari to visit The Boat. Mindari is about 60km north of Perth, normally an easy drive of an hour or so.
However, yesterday was very wet, and the drive took a bit longer. The conditions on the highways were diabolical. The wipers were going at their max rate for most of the journey, and the road spray was severely reducing visibility.
Having safely arrived at The Boat, we grabbed a table and ordered our drinks and meals. Obviously, given the weather conditions, we opted to sit inside.
Chilli Mussels for Gerry, Garlic Prawns, and Rice for Denise and Battered Barramundi with Chips for me. Oh, and a sharing platter of cheesy garlic bread. All the food was, as usual, very well cooked and tasty.
We raised a glass to Steve and wished him a happy celestial birthday, The Boat, being one of his favourite eateries, he would have approved.
While having our meal, I noticed that we had an observer, keeping tabs on us.
The drive home was much better, dry and sunny.
