Out in the mid bay having a fine time? Doing what? There's nothing
out in the mid bay.

Really? Are you sure?


I've been out in "mid Chesapeake" a zillion times, Wayne. There's a
couple of little islands directly across the bay from my house,
adjacent to "the other side. There's nothing between here and there
but water, buoys, and a few fishing spots. On most clear days, I can
look across and see the western side of the Eastern Shore.

Now, if you go south towards the lower Bay, there are some islands
out in the Bay a little ways. Been there, too. Maybe you are playing
geographic games and defining "mid Chesapeake" differently, but "mid
Chesapeake" to me means...the navigational channel.

Being out in the middle of the Bay driving a powerboat is...well,
kinda boring. On a nice windy day, though, being on a sailboat out
there is fun. Being on a floating winnebago like you drive...nah.


Harry,
Since there is nothing to do and boring, why did you do it a zillion
times? I am curious, how did you get out the middle of the bay a
zillion times, and only put 25 hrs a year on your boat? Floating?



How are the flies and rodents doing on Lake Lanier this month?


I have never known of a fly problem on the lake, and the only rodent I
ever see is one of these:

I am curious as to why you would want to go and do something a zillon
times that you find boring. It really just doesn't make any sense.

It really seems that there is very little you enjoy about boating,
except talking about boating.
