My friends and I were crazy about The Crab Shack, but we met some folks while we were out walking who sneered at the very idea of The Crab Shack. The best place for seafood on Tybee Island, they insisted, was A.J.’s Dockside, especially at sunset. So we went. We liked The Crab Shack better — it was certainly funnier — but you couldn’t beat the sunset.

Here’s A.J.’s. As God is my witness, there’s a door in there, somewhere. Guess what time of year we visited.

The sunset was spectacular, as advertised. I guess this is kind of a door. Ish.

Next door was a fishing hut at the end of a dock. Very picturesque.

Here’s a better shot of the fishing hut WHICH HAS A DOOR.

And so we bid farewell to A.J.’s and went back to the cottage to put calamine lotion on our mosquito bites. But it was beautiful.

About

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.

    A door is where you see it, yes? I vote door for that frame around the sunset.

    Door-ish always qualifies. I think eating at a fun place while on a vacation is important. I hope you have a great weekend, and congratulations on knocking the Christmas in July ball out of the park!

      Christmas in July has been a blast! I’m enjoying this weekend very much: I had a convention in Indianapolis, then one in Louisville, and one coming up in LaGrange. Huff puff!!
