  • A little bumpy
  • Lucky them

Busy day on the water.   Really hate when people who don't live near the water let their minds wander and report imaginary things.   Responded to several imaginary drownings at the Oceanfront where citizens made whole elaborate stories up about all the people drowning and the boats attempting to get them out of the water.    In reality it was an anchor buoy for the beach replenishment dredge.    Then responded to a capsized center console on the Eastern Shore.   Most likely abandoned, but still ran search patterns for the CG after I anchored the vessel.

  • Smooth pile
  • Comorants painting the buoy white
  • York River Yacht Haven
  • Good looking deadrise
  • Big
  • Boys
  • Getting ready to kiss

Like butter on the water today.   Not a lot of traffic, so created a nav course up the York River to York River Yacht Haven and out to the CH Buoy.     Super low tides this a.m. so I got some piles scraped so mother nature's razor don't damage the boats.
