Right now we are working on projects ranging from the topsides varnish
to the engine room, but we took time to go out and relax.

I'm not going to say where this is, and I hope that the pic doesn't
really show how nice the anchorage is. Don't want to see crowd there
next time!

A beautiful sunset & a bottle of wine (Caymus Vineyards for those who
are interested), sharing with some boating friends, a very enjoyable
occasion.

My guess would be Broad Creek.

Looks nice Doug, 'cept someone stole your mast.

Did you stay rafted up thru the night?

No, what happened was that we had a broach under spinnaker and while experts
advise against it, I eased the boom vang and 90% of the rig broke off and
blew away..............

Yep. Slept like a baby, although it still wakes me up when the boat swings
to a wind or tide shift.

BTW you're right it was in upper Broad Creek (why does the Neuse have two
Broad Creeks??) but don't tell anybody. It's a pretty spot and a secure
anchorage but you need good screens or the mosquitoes suck you dry.

That's too bad, if you were a BIG boat sailor you could have saved it.

I was invited to a raft up, but declined. I'm a little leary of rafting to
other sailboats, thinking about a power boat wake rocking us.

Not a problem if you do it right. Of course, out of any three average boats,
there are two or more sailors who think they know how to do it right, but will
damage the boat(s) and/or foul the anchor. However, when my wife is part of the
group, everybody does it her way.... and she has learned from the best

Snoring on other boats, now *that's* a problem.

When I was on the big submersible boats we shared an anchorage with another boat
who just had to run their f--in' active sonar all night. That was annoying.

Doug,
The sailboat rafted on your starboard side looks like an Irwin 37' cc.
Is it an Irwin?

Yes it is. It is a friends boat and he is the gentleman who supplied the
Caymus Vineyards wine.

Hey, Doug...

Did you consider a big motorsailor at any point?
That's a pretty trawler in any case.

looks real nice Doug!
