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.

Glad you had a nice day Harry but it is sad you have to tell it to a bunch of strangers
what you did today to achieve any satisfaction in it.

Don't you have a wife, family and friends you can relive your trip with? Or why not
just relish the day and tuck it away for future fond remembrance? Do you rely on the
NG as your only outlet in life?

I know you will flame me for this, and frankly I could care less if you do, but I am
really being honest in my question to you.

Telling a Usenet newsgroup something does not prevent one from telling the same
story to people in The Real World(tm). I think it's safe to say that many of us
have multiple "outlets" in our lives besides Usenet.

The short answer is that "Jim," aka "Dennis," is a horse's ass.

I've been trying to convince my wife that a summer trip to your area
would be delightful, but she's a southern belle, and thinks if it isn't
97F in July and August, with matching humidity, there's something wrong.
I've almost got her convinced about a trip to the Pacific NW, with tales
of fine, soft days (she's of Irish ancestry), but she's leery of the
temps there, too.

October has been stunning so far. Just about perfect with temperatures in
the high 60's....better than summer unless you want to swim in the ocean.
Air is clear as a bell...none of that summer haze.
see http://www.celtic-colours.com/default.html
Seems to be lots of Irish and French Acadian music mixed in with the
Scottish.
This time of year you get double value for your money...the usual fall
foliage sightseeing and the music festival.

Forgot to mention... in today's local paper a small article on Conde Nast
Traveler magazine naming Cape Breton Island as the second best island in
North America...after Vancouver Island.
Take that NOYB!
