Good amount of people out boating today, but not nearly as busy as the 4th.   Bay was a little snotty, keeping most people on the inside.

28 years without a Fourth of July off.   Gonna be a long weekend.   Very busy on the water with our regular share of idiots.    How do you make stupid?   Just add water.

Rainy and stormy day.    Appreciate the calls for the boat in distress from passing motorists for the properly anchored sailboat.   We love responding priority in thunderstorms.

While underway today we observed a landing craft of the Dutch Marines come into Crab Creek.    Seeing as we never saw a military landing craft pull up to the municipal ramp, we headed over for a gander.   Seems they brought some personnel ashore and we're waiting on Sysco to reprovishion there ship.     After conducting training with the U.S. Navy, they are now headed to Halifax to train with Canada.   They are from the Dutch amphibious ship, Johann de Witt.

  • Saving lives one day at a time

Got some busy work accomplished is the a m. before getting underway.   Decided to take MAR4 boat out for a change.    Ended up saving two young adventurerers that were drifting to Portugal after their PWC broke down.   All in all, not a bad day.  And I bought a new gun.

Very busy day on the water.   The threat of impending thunderstorms did not keep people from enjoying their time on the water.

  • Hauled the paddle boards around because they were lonely
  • Mandee loves her bean bag
  • Thimble Shoals Light

Absolutely fantastic sail on this beautiful Saturday.    We managed to dodge the pop up thunderstorms and just cruised around the bay.    Mandee loves the treasure I plucked from King Neptune's grasp earlier in the week.

  • Little friend
  • Cape Charles Light
  • Hazard to navigation
  • Fish talk

Busy day for a Wednesday.    Had a call on the Eastern Shore that turned out to be BS.    Then pulled some derelict pipes the dredge left behind that were causing a navigational hazard.   Then finished the day drinking beer and listening to a fishing seminar.

Another scorcher on the water.   Only way to stay somewhat cool is to drive the boat, instead of patrolling at no wake speed.    Conducted an emergency tow for a boat in distress, no water and no communication, in this heat, now that's an emergency.
