  • One of my last days with this old girl, she's been a great patrol boat
  • Can't hide money

Started the day by getting underway looking for a navigational hazard a citizen called in. Unable to locate that I patrolled both branches of the Lynnhaven River and the rest of the inside waters.   Seems the only person's on the water were me, some commercial guys and a handful of fisherman.

Chores around the house took longer than expected, so no sailing today.  But I did find time to explore the area with Rudder on Lil Pressure.
