First day of week 17 was very uneventful. My boat is on the hard, getting a fresh coat of bottom paint. So I went on patrol with MAR7. Kept the Lynnhaven safe.

Myself along with two others were the first ones amongst our unit to complete the South Horn Passage. A journey of about 50 miles, transiting the length of Back Bay through the Knott's Island Cut into Cuuritick Sound. Returning to our home waters via the North Landing River into Chesapeake, before ending our journey on West Neck Creek. Notable first of navigating under the causeway bridge goes to MAR8. Also we completed an exploration of Big Cedar Island, being careful to watch out for fanged serpents.
Taco Tuesday! Made a run over to Little Creek to have lunch at Longboard's.
I lied, this day was actually better than the day before. Went over to the Eastern Shore. Found a bunker from WW2 on Fisherman's Island that I had never seen before. Visited the concrete ships of Kiptopeke. Went into Cape Charles to see a beast of a sailboat. Saw a fire from the water on my way back.
Absolutely gorgeous day, as all the boaters on the water will attest to.
Starting to pick up on the water. Gonna be a great season. Got to help a beautiful Boreal 44 today.
Actively patrolling the waters, just in case some eclipse crazies or alien invasion happened.
Gorgeous spring Sunday. Went and checked on No Pressure. New neighbor with an absolute wonderful name.
New guy sign off day. Congratulations Marine 2. Spent some time training and navigating in some of the the thickest fog I have ever seen. At times the visibility was down to yards. Chartplotter, radar and AIS.
Weatherman played April Fools joke. Conditions were nothing like forecasted. Stayed on the inside and get some training done for our new guy who is getting signed off on the 2nd.
