Default Great Day for Boating

Best day of the year so far for boating on Chesapeake Bay. Accompanied by
wife and my in-laws, we got an early start from Chesapeake Beach, headed
up towards the Bay Bridge, came down through Kent Narrows, visited St.
Micheals for a while, then went as far up the Miles River as the Route 370
bridge.

Wish the rest of the summer would be as temperate as today.

Some snaps:

Gas was $3.69+, diesel $2.59+ over at St. Michaels. Very light boating
traffic on the Bay.


Glad to read you had a good day on the shakedown cruise.

We are in the water and will be taking ours out (weather cooperating) over
the weekend).

Gasoline prices at the 2 corner gas stations was at $3.49 as of this morning
and predicted to stay there through the summer. This was up from $3.08 just
yesterday.

$3.49 at the corner gas station is what at marinas in your area? $3.99?

Gas at the local corner stations here (Wawa, for example) was $3.07
today, but over on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, the news reported, it
was $2.87.

This is going to be a terrible year for many boaters.

Last weekend our marina was still under $3/gallon. The marinas around here
(for the most part) only raise prices when they get a new shipment of gas to
refill the tanks. That price stays until the next shipment arrives.

The marinas will soon be close to $4/gallon once they refill their tanks.

He never said he was on his boat. His narcissism would have forced him
to post pictures of his boat if that was the case.
