| "I never thought you could be so unkind, Won't you lay it on the line." -Triumph The speed of injustice...laying it on the shoreline in a blink. 66th Street beachbreak, Holiday's. 6/22/2017. |
We have just gotten past the Summer Solstice. The longest day of the year for daylight. I have spoken before on the injustice of it all; that we have the most light so early in the Summer cycle. How much more enjoyable it would be to have the opportunity to bask in the setting sun late on a September night. But, if June is our fate so be it. With that much daylight Thursday, you would think we would be on the beach till almost 9pm. No such luck for us. What looked like a great day from afar was in reality, an evening scattered with chilled wind gusts. Just a few lost souls on the beach. The Audience came prepared. If one would call myself and Lisa an audience. Beach chairs and towels...here for the long haul if the surf were to provide. All beach-break and no one in the water, You'd think Wattman would take the hint. But with water temps still in the upper 60's, (yes the guy on TV who says the water's 70 degrees has not stepped foot in the Ocean ). A light south east wind, and high tide. DWatt had his work cut out for him. But onward he went, the sole surfer as far as the eye could see. The break just an ass hair off on the beach . Short rides. All the conditions allowed. Quick right handers that lasted only a few seconds before becoming beach trash. After only an hour Wattman called it a night even with the sun not yet completely set.
This time around I had chosen our dinner destination. While taking the "Bat-Cave" way home on on Rt 54, a small Bar/Restaurant had caught my attention over the years. Located in tiny Williamsville; a strip center half way between Fenwick and Selbyville, DE. Next to a gun shop no less- Yellowfin's Bar & Grille. A true local dive with no out of town tourons jamming the place up with all their noise. A tight but nice crowd were on both sides of the place, and with good speakers playing a nice mix of tunes we settled into the bar. With any new place first impressions are important and this place had me with a cold glass filled with my favorite cold Summer Shandy. While they had a limited selection of beer, their prices were more than reasonable. Being a local bar, the daily specials were especially appealing. It was $3 Taco Thursday, and we all three jumped in. DWatt had the oyster taco , which sounds terrible to me but was gone from his plate in less than a minute. Lisa and I took the more conservative options with blacken tuna and shrimp. Both had a nice flavor but were slightly over powered by the sauce. We closed out the meal with a nice dry-rub Old Bay Wing selection. The wings were small in size but were cooked perfectly and severely hot. I would have to say that Yellowfin's is somewhere in the middle of nowhere to stop if chance pays a visit. It may be a little out of the way, but everything about the place is a cut above the normal beach bar. Nice side-Bar for the Revival Tour.
