The area is very lucky that after the Navy Base Closure the now Brunswick Landing has taken over the Base and has continued to host the Air Show. Last year the Blue Angels flew and this year the Air Force Thunderbirds are flying their F 16 Falcons.The Thunderbirds and their support teams started showing up on Wednesday and started practicing so even out on the Island we could see their practice routines. The soloists will fly up to speeds of 700mph, they can cover 5 miles in 1 sec. it is really a spectacular thing to see them take off, land and perform their stunts. I am looking forward to the All Women Skydiving team. Yes, Skydiving is something I have done twice and not sure I could get the courage up again.
Both Shelby and Lindsey are gone to College and we welcome Donna, and Rachel who will help us out through the Fall. Speaking of the Fall if you were thinking of coming to stay with us we do not have a Fri and Sat night available until October 12th and then again on the weekend we close which is October 26th and 27th.
I took a little "staycation" lunch this week. My Mom,Terrence and I headed down Rt 127 ( just over the Bath Bridge) toward Georgetown, the end destination was Five Islands Lobster Wharf. This is a great, as it should be place to have lunch or dinner. You order at the counter, they have every type of fish and non seafood items. Then they have another section where you can order lobster and steamers, cooked or live to go. You can also pack a cooler with drinks and eat your yummy lunch on the picnic tables at the dock. You can watch the lobster boats bring in their catch and while we were there we saw a 150ft Yacht heading up the River. On the way back, the foodie in me just had to stop at Five Islands Farm on Rt 127. This is a tiny little building with the most spectacular selections of wine,beer, cheese, olive oils, breads, pastas, sauces, local produce, salami, pate, local eggs and most surprising Glidden Point Oysters. Every nook I looked at had a different awesome item, even cookbooks. I will have to save more time for this hidden gem on the next trip. www. fiveislandsfarm.com
