Actually got out of the house at 7:30 this morning and was at the marina
before 8, waiting for one of the forklift operators to launch Yo Ho. He
showed up on time.

The weather was beautiful today, with bright sunny skies, a light breeze
and the usual 1' to 2' chop on Chesapeake Bay. Bought some squid and
some spot from JJ's Bait and Tackle, along with 50 gallons of regular,
and headed south. I was going to run down to Buoy 72 and the Holland
Bar, but it was such a nice day, we went sightseeing along the way, and
only got as far as the Gas Docks. Went back north to the Nuke Plant and
caught almost a dozen small blues, what we used to call "snapper blues"
in Connecticut. They were about 12" to 15" long, and great fighters on
really light tackle.

On the way back, we stopped at Breezy Point, just to see how it fared
from Isabel. The camper park lost a few trees; they are still there and
toppled. Everything else looked about the same.

Only a few more weekends of good weather until I put the boat away for
the winter. Yo Ho did very well in this, her maiden season. I've got a
couple of very minor things for the dealer to attend to - this Parker is
a solid boat.

Ciao.
