The Launch of the Jackie B.....................

I took the afternoon off to  watch the maiden voyage of the Jackie B.................Tybee Island.... "almost" summer...2012.
I am suppose to be taking some time off for fun so I thought this would be a great place to begin.
I took my camera ( just like a tourist) and rode my pink bike to Aj's Restaurant on the back river to watch the event unfold. http://a-j'sdocksidetybee/

preparing to launch............

The boat is 11 feet long but it looks just  like an America's cup contender in miniature (Kathi a new project for you).


If you LOVE color you will be right at  home at this happy colorful place...Color everywhere....happiness and good food abound............

Recognize this fabulous pink "'good health" machine.............
