Default A boating adventure...

French leave went well, thank you very much. We cruised down to Virginia
Beach with another couple as guests, and stayed in that area for a few
days, fished offshore, and by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, and hit
some of our favorite beaches. Got dragged to a few "antique" shops. I
think I am older than some of the stuff being sold in them. I gave
serious thought to running down to Oregon Inlet just for the hell of it.
But I didn't. We left Saturday about midday, and the Bay was windy and
choppy, but not problematical. We had an evening thunderstorm earlier
this week, easy enough to "ride out" at the marina.

Rudee's Restaurant, at the back of Rudee's Inlet, was just pretty good
this time, and I don't know whether we hit it during a brief downturn or
whether the quality is sliding. I used to like Rudee's a lot.
Fortunately, there are about a zillion restaurants in the Virginia Beach
area, and more than a handful are excellent.

Nothing broke.

Fewer posts stacked up here in "wrecked.boats" than I usually see after
a trip. I shall do the smart thing, mark the folder "read" and not read
any of them. I am sure that if I missed anything of consequence, someone
will point it out, eh?

Coming soon: a trip up to the New Haven area, Milford, Branford, and
Guilford, to catch up with the buddies, their wives, and their
much-too-young nieces.


You takin the train?
