November 22nd, 2011
Monday was the perfect day to write this post. First of all, I am back from Delray Beach, Florida. And, second of all, because it was, actually, one of those misty, rainy, Fall days in Rehoboth Beach. Don’t get me wrong, I am enjoying it. But, I am also remembering last Thursday when I had the day all to myself in Delray….yes, in that Village by the Sea.
Last Thursday was gorgeous. I decided to go and sit on the beach for a few hours. Knowing that I was coming back to the cold weather, I was trying to get the last bit of sun. That was a good thing, since Friday was a stormy day in South Florida.
I have told you before about the beach in Delray. No buildings to block the sun. All you see is the beach. The water was so blue and crystal clear. I had all my beach essentials; a chair, hat, sunscreen, and water. Actually, I think my chair is too low. I need a new one. A little trivial… but that’s what you do when you are on vacation.
I have been wanting to cruise the Intracoastal. Right from Veterans Park on Atlantic Ave., by the bridge, you will find the Lady Atlantic and Lady Delray. I wanted to go on one of those. Departure? 1:30 p.m. for the 2 plus hours of sightseeing.
Delray Yacht Cruises is located at 801 E. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach, FL 33483. Tel. 561-243-0686. Website? www.delrayyachtcruises.com.
There is parking available so don’t worry about that. Remember that this is now the holiday season and these cruises will book early.
The other day, it was pretty easy since it was not that crowded. The Lady Atlantic was our yacht and you can start boarding at 1:00 p.m. Promptly they will leave at 1:30 p.m. My cruise was what they called a Daily Two-Hour Narrated Sightseeing Cruise. They have one at 10:30 a.m. and one at 1:30 p.m.
The cruises are Tuesdays through Sundays. If you are visiting Delray this week and would like to book a cruise, please check the website above mentioned.
 Intracoastal looking North from Lady Atlantic. They have special event cruises and you will need to make a reservation. For example, Sunset Cruises, Brunch Cruises, Thanksgiving Day Cruises which will include a Turkey Feast, or a Twilight Cruise on Thanksgiving to relax after eating so much Turkey.
December will bring a whole new schedule of cruises with Holiday Lights Cruises, Boat Parades, (Boyton & Delray Beaches and Boca Raton), Holiday Luncheon and Dinner Cruises, New Years Eve Cruises….call 561-243-0686 for details.
The Lady Atlantic and Lady Delray are available for private charters, as well. Please call for more info.
Lady Atlantic was ready and we were all aboard trying to get the best seats. Some were already sitting on the first level. I went inside to see how the boat looked. Beautiful woods and understated decorations.
The Lady Atlantic is fairly new. This 105 foot yacht was delivered in 2008 and was designed for South Florida’s Intracoastal Waterways.
The Intracoastal runs most of the length of the Eastern Seaboard. Natural inlets, salt water rivers, bays and sounds; some are also artificial canals.
Some of us chose to sit outdoors on the upper deck. On such a pretty day you had an advantage point.
Breanna, my server, was great. I ordered a blackened mahi mahi sandwich. Just as we started the cruise it arrived and it was truly delicious.
This was a narrated cruise. We were going south and we were about to cross 3 bridges; Atlantic Ave., Linton, and Spanish River en route to Boca. The same on the way back.
The narration started with the safety of the yacht and the history of the intracoastal. We would not be going fast; there were manatees to worry about. Some parts of the intracoastal are wide and very deep and others; so narrow and shallow.
The narrations kept us all entertained. Who lives on the intracoastal? Which are the tear downs and who owned those magnificent houses along the intracoastal? Some are specs; others gifts to someone special. You will have to go on the tour and learn more and even see them decorated for the holidays.
  
I met people from Ohio and from Chicago. Just on vacation they were; taking a day off from the beach, shopping and restaurants.
The yacht was smooth and very relaxing. Those 2 hours were gone in no time and pretty soon we were back in Delray.
I totally recommend it. I had a great time.
Have a great Holiday!! Talk to you later….

All these years in Florida and I had never visited Naples. Some of my friends are on the east coast of Florida, while others have opted for the gulf. So, after an invitation was extended to visit a friend, off we went, taking Alligator Alley and in a couple of hours we were there.
With only 24 hours to explore Jay took us around, introduced us to Historic Naples, fed us and housed us, as well.
I wanted to see the beach. I used to go to Venice, Florida, but it was so long ago. It really was a pretty day, so we stopped at the Naples Municipal Beach.
The sand on this particular beach was powdery white; quite different than the sand found on the east coast of Florida. I can see why it is such a big hit for those that love to sand sculpt.
At a distance the famous Naples Pier stood, just as it has stood since 1888 when it was built as a freight and passenger dock. It is a landmark and in the early 1900’s freight and baggage were transported by a narrow gauge train spanning the length of the pier.
On the Naples Pier you will find a concession stand, and a bait shop. No fishing license is required for fishing from the pier. The City of Naples has a bulk fishing license for the actual pier.
During the day you can also find a game of volley ball since there are nets on the beach; and if you want to stay to see the sun set, please do so because it is gorgeous and every day is an experience.
I found that there is a marked difference from the beaches on the west vs. the beaches on the east. It is a different sensation. The east has that salty smell and the sounds of the waves which are special. The gulf is quiet and pretty too, but I guess I am partial to the east coast. It is just something in the air; maybe the way the palm trees move or its ocean breezes…yes, I think that’s it!!
Have a great day!! Great restaurants in Naples…coming up next.

The beginning of November marks that time of the year when the “snowbirds” are either getting restless or too cold. I know some of them that are already there and some that already have their date on their schedule.
Delray Beach, is that Village by the Sea that has had 2 designations as “All American City”. It is the only city in Florida to have won it twice. They have so many activities and events year-round. But, they really step it up more than a few notches when the season kicks in.
Already more events and activities are found. Here a some, if you happen to be in Delray Beach or in Palm Beach County.
Delray opened this year their new bed and breakfast; the Historic Hartman House located at 302 NE 7th Ave. If you are looking for a place to stay, check them out. Website? www.delraybeachbedandbreakfast.com. They are a great addition to the Delray community and are already immersed in this unique coastal town.
Delray has the beaches, the restaurants, the shops, and plenty of roadway for exercising. At times, if you want to get away from it all, you can catch a cruise, right there on Atlantic Avenue and the Intracoastal.
Delray Yatch Cruises has a schedule, including menus that can be accessed by visiting www.delraybeachcruises.com. You can also call them for reservations or questions at 561-243-0686.
There is a Sunday Brunch Cruise that leaves at 10:30 a.m. going northbound. That part of the intracoastal is beautiful and quite wide at different spots.
If you are going to be in Delray during Thanksgiving, check their schedule since they will be having special Thanksgiving Day Cruises and Dinner Cruises. Being that it is a holiday, you should make the reservations way ahead of time.
Cruising on the intracoastal from Delray Beach started in 2003. One of their yatchs, the Lady Atlantic, was designed for South Florida’s Intracoastal Waterways.
Friday, 10/28 - It is the 14th Annual Pineapple Grove Bed Race in the Art District of Delray; Pineapple Grove, at NE 2nd Ave. at Atlantic Ave. The race will be f rom 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
A new addition this year will be the Beer Tent and the popular Food Trucks.
The Bed Race will be followed by a free concert from “Hard Liquor” on the Old School Square Pavilion. “Hard Liquor” is a high energy South Florida band whose genre is Classic and Hard Rock. They play popular rock songs from the 60s until today.
What can I say? Some of the teams have been doing this race every year. If you have a favorite, well, by all means go and be a cheerleader!!
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 10/28-10/30 - Haunted Halls of Horror at the Delray Beach Community Center located at 50 NW 1st Avenue. It is presented by Hugs Not Drugs in conjuction with Delray Beach Parks and Recreation.

Another place that I enjoy when I want to get from it all is the Morikami and Japanese Gardens. Believe me they are so peaceful.
The gardens are “an invitation to stop momentarily and ponder anew what we are, where we have been, and where we are heading”.
The address is 400 Morikami Park Rd., Delray Beach, Florida. Website? www.morikami.org. Tel. 561-495-0233.
From Delray Beach you can go west on Atlantic Ave., turn left on Jog Road and head south for a bit and you will see the entrance on the right hand side. It is also the entrance for the Orchid Society.
The Park honors the Yamato Colony, a farming settlement of the early 1900s. It also celebrates the living Japanese culture.
My favorite garden is the Karesansui Late Rock Garden. Karesansui means “dry landscape”. In this style of garden, the rocks were arranged in a bed of raked gravel, while plants took a secondary role.
As the weather gets more comfortable in South Florida, these gardens are a great place to relax.
I hope you take advantage of some of these activities and events. Delray Beach, that little Village by the Sea, is also full of restaurants. I like a lot of them and I do have my favorites. I have written about them in the past, and just like I do at the Delaware Beaches, I will visit them again…you never know what unique dish will be on their menu….AboutMyBeaches…yes this is one of my favorite beaches, as well.

Finally, I am making it to this annual festival in the town of Bridgeville, Delaware. Bridgeville is about 45 minutes away from Rehoboth Beach. The town was settled in 1684 and was incorporated in 1871. It is an agricultural-oriented community.
Rapa Scrapple and T.S. Smith & Sons are two companies that are from Bridgeville. Rapa represents the scrapple and T.S. Smith & Sons represents the apples.
T.S. Smith & Sons is 104 years old. I wrote a post on this farm and apple orchard on 9/23/11. If you would like to see it just click on the month of September and scroll down to the 23rd.
Rapa is the largest producer of scrapple in the world. It was created by Ralph and Paul Adams. Their recipe has been used since the early 1920s. For more info. on Rapa, please visit www.rapascrapple.com.
Every time I talk about scrapple noses wrinkle or there is an exclamation here or there. I truly love it and I like it well done; thin and crispy.
Scrapple is made out of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and flour, often buckwheat flour and spices.
So, the two companies will be celebrating and about 30,000 visitors will be joining them.
Friday will be the start of the Festival at 4 p.m.
At 4:30 p.m. they will be announcing on the Main Stage who the winners of the Apple Dessert Baking Contest.
At 6 p.m. there will be an Opening Ceremony.
The night’s entertainment will feature a street dance and the Little Miss Apple Scrapple Contest.
For more info. and a complete schedule, please visit http://www.applescrapple.com.
Saturday will start with an All You Can Eat Scrapple Breakfast at 7 a.m. I usually eat a couple of pieces; cannot imagine “all you can eat scrapple”.
I am going to go first to T.S. Smith & Sons because they will be offering a full day of apple activities on the farm.
They will have available, farm tours, hay rides, you-pick apples and pumpkins, informative talks and demonstrations.
Some of these activities will require the purchase of a ticket.
The farm market is located in the historic apple packing house where apples are still graded and packed for market. You can find it easily at the intersection of Redden Rd. (DE 40) and US 13A (N. Main St.).
Farm tours will be held every hour on Saturday, beginning at 10 a.m. through 4 p.m. These tours double as hay rides pulled by a tractor, allowing participants the chance to enjoy a longer ride and see the farm and its historic attributes.
Two presentations: At 11 a.m. Big Apples from Little Trees. It explores the change in apple propagation and cultivation. At 1 p.m. Roots, Shoots, & Fruits: These are not your Grandfather’s Trees. Shedding light on different apple varieties, newer methods of grafting and propagation. And, why it is necessary.
More info. and details? Please call 302-337-8271. You can also find them on Facebook as www.facebook.com/tssmithandsons.
Please enjoy the Festival, its food and its music. Hey, The Greaseband will be playing on Saturday evening, beginning at 7 p.m. They are a lot of fun.
