Hopefully we'll get an early start tomorrow and make it to Atlantic Highlands. The muni marina there has the best diesel prices in the north east. We'll be needing 700 gallons or so (just for Harry's benefit). I saw that cove and wondered if that was what you were shooting for. The name has a sort of pirate sound to it ;-) |

Today was clear and sunny also but cold and windy in the morning by our Floridian standards. Today's big challenge was getting through the Norfolk Southern Railroad Bridge #7. The bridge was hit a while back by an errant tug boat and barge, and has been under repair ever since with restricted operating hours. It has been driving boaters nuts because the posted hours have often been incorrect and there is no way around it other than going outside Cape Hatteras. We got up at 5:00AM this morning to try and catch it before 7 when work starts. It was closed when we got there at 6 but it turned out to be only temporary. We eventually got through about 6:30 which was a big relief. The bridge is an incredible anachronism which looks like it is at least 100 years old and operates with the same efficiency. http://www.waterwayguide.com/nav-alert/4-5755/norfolk-va-icw-closures-at-norfolk-southern-bridge-update High winds on Chesapeake Bay are scheduled for Sunday but we should make it north at least as far as Solomons or St Michaels tomorrow. Are you planning to spend any time at Solomons? Gosh, I hope the wind isn't blowing from the south or east...that bankster stench will wilt our roses. Was that you narcissism talking or just jealousy? ...*you* narcissism... When you count up the number of your guns, do you have to use the fingers on both hands? Congratulations! You beat your dumb friend to a typo! |

It's an interesting sight during the day but at night it's absolutely spectacular. |

I have given a few bucks to those pirates and my sister was a platinum player at the Sands. (Gift basket at the door, comped room etc) That cost them. ;-) |

I am pretty good net buddies with the Chief Building Official there. |
