Being out in the middle of the Bay driving a powerboat is...well, kinda

fun. Being on a floating winnebago like you drive...nah.


You might be surprised just how fun it can be, and most of the time
the GB drives itself, sort of like someone taking you for a ride on a
nice day. All we have to do is keep a lookout for small LT fishing
boats. It's all too easy to accidently sink one with our wake.

Other than Tangier Island, one of the highlights of our trip through
the lower Chesapeake was seeing a feeding frenzy by a school of bottle
nosed dolphins. There must have been at least 30 of them just ripping
the living daylights out of a school of smaller fish on the surface.


Wayne,
Boating is very similar to life, it isn't the destination, but the
journey that makes it worthwhile.
