Up early on Friday morning leaving the marina at 7.45am Heading for Jewfisk Creek arriving at 7.30pm and anchor for the night. The weather forecast looked good with winds 14-17k out of the SW with a moderate chop. Well I learned what NOAA {the national weather } meaning of chop are today. Light chop is a Very Pleasant day boat hardly moves. Moderate chop, chop spraying occasionally over the bow. Heavy chop sea spray slapping you in the face on the Fly bridge. Winds building 20-25k I had all three conditions today.
Now Saturday up early again leaving at 7.45am arriving Marathon at Docksides 5.30pm one of those perfect days that makes everything all worthwhile winds NE light chop sunny just perfect. Everyone was here to help with my lines and a Big hamburger waiting for me. To bed early two very long days. Sunday the boat had to be washes inside (took several heavy chops with the side door open stupid) the decks covered with salt.
Have to get the forward cabin ready for Donnie's arrival tomorrow.
Get it al least decent lol. Hav a good Monday at Dockside
ReplyDelete,,,I should be there around 5:30-6:00 to take care of your tab for the day and add a few pops myself
Go easy on the pops. Think about the sugar. Have fun but be wise. I am sure Donnie wants the best for you and that's to look after yourself. Hi to him from Mom.
DeleteMother always knows best. It may not seem the most fun advice at times... but the best advice it certainly is. Go easy....Make the fun last.
DeleteGlad you made it safe and sound, don't you know better than to leave doors and windows open while at sea, no matter what NOAA says. Hope you did not take to much water in the cabin area.
ReplyDeletewhen its 85deg outside and the engine is running it gets pretty hot inside
DeleteHappy Easter Scottie, Love your friends
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back safe and sound! Now we don't have to worry about you anymore! I bet Boot Key Harbour looked pretty darn good as you were transitting through. Nice to be back amongst friends, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteTake care Scott and Happy Easter!
Jan and Ron
