The Boatshed is almost an institution in the Bay - a culinary rather than a mental one - and we went there for a meal of oh-so-freshly-caught grenadier with salad and chips, and also to check out the "Escapade" which our Sydney friends Tong and Suzanne will board next weekend for a three-hour cruise on the Clyde River.
I've offered Tong my Seniors Card for the $45 concession fare which should be okay as long as he answers to the name of "Manfred" in a German accent, and doesn't mention the war.
Anyway, we will hoist the flag and await their passing at "Riverbend" at a quarter to one as we sit on the verandah and raise our glasses filled with "Chateau Cardboard" in a royal toast.
