First launch from the new mooring whips. Almost snagged the front whip line on the T-top as we departed.Overall it's a great setup and improvement to nestling up next to the dock. Just need to do some final fine-tuning based on usage patterns.
Took an easy cruise to Ego Alley and tied up on the bulkhead for a nice lunch at Dock St. Bar. Joined by Tom H and Tom R.
I ordered a pair of 14' Dock Edge+ mooring whips from DIY-Docks.com. I installed them today in advance of the possible arrival of side effects from Cat 3 Hurricane Erin.
Went to Little Burley Ck to check on friends' renovation project. Moderate chop due to stiff breeze.
We made our first visit to St. Michaels in the past 2-3 seasons. Decided to get a membership at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum that offers docking privileges for supporters. The cruise down was extra smooth on the Bay, Eastern Bay, and especially on the glassy Miles River. We grabbed a couple of bikes at CBMM and had a great lunch at Corah's Corner and then a lively chat with some other visitors at Carpenter St. Saloon. Tony the bartender was entertaining and friendly.
Nice to be back on home waters after a week in Northern Michigan and not nearly enough boating.
Family time kayaking and SUPing along a 6 mile stretch of the Manistee River in northern Michigan.
Aboard 28' Monterey bow rider. Portage Lake and back to Manistee
Heading to Michigan for a week in the morning so this is the last photo of the Bay Area. Look for images from Lake Michigan as I get on the water with boating friends up there.
Took a few shots along Back Creek to take advantage of the post-storm cloudy light.
