You'll have to enlighten me there!

The marina is up Rockhold Creek, a very scenic little 10 minute ride from
the bay. I'll get some pics next time.

You've never seen Jax's Speedo shots?
He used to post them in one of the other boating groups every chance he
got. It was ugly!

You mean this? http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/jaxascii.html

Ahhhhhhh.... my eyes......

Some things are best kept hidden!

A gorgeous day on the bay!
 

I left Baltimore for the C&D Canal early Monday on our way to Cape May and
NYC. Actually, I can confirm that there was a lot of flotsam in the
Chesapeake. Largely on the east side there were extensive and relatively
dense rafts. Our average speed to the C&D was only 6 knots. However, the
Delaware - where I normally see a lot of floating detritus was the cleanest
I've seen it in a long time.

Took the wife out for the first time this year, just to do a little
cruising and have a little picnic at our favorite little island just up
the
west river from the Chesapeake Bay. I was a little worried that something
would go wrong, especially after seeing some of the horror stories here.

The marina was almost empty of people, and very few boats were being
launched. It turned out the Coast Guard had issued an advisory about
floating debris coming down from the Susquehanna River.

We launched anyway, the engine started right up, the blower, bilge pump,
lights, etc., all worked, so we took off.

What a beautiful day! The bay, except for lots of sailboats, was not at
all
crowded, our little island had no visitors until well after we had found a
nice spot to tie up, and we saw no floating debris. Of course, it seems
that the majority of floating objects, boats and dead bodies included,
float to the eastern shore. Maybe we were just lucky.

Got back to the marina without incident and took a dip in the pool to
rinse
off the salt water. A spectacular way to spend a nice day on the
Chesapeake
Bay.

Just about the time we left the marina I remembered I forgot the damn
camera!

Thank God! We don't need to see any 'Jax' type photos. ;-)


That was a scary sight! Wonder what happen to old Jax?
