The Porch on Long Creek
Rounding Bay Island
High speed, low drag stuff going on at JEB Fort Story
Absolutely gorgeous day to get out on the water. Not a lot of people out so the few who did get out had the southern bay to themselves.

Final day of Week 17 or College Beach Weekend. Good preview of the busy summer season. Missed the sock burning party and didn't get a chance to take my boat out. But silver lining, made enough in OT to pay for my new batteries. My patrol boat is on the hard getting a fresh coat of bottom paint, so took boat 40 out instead.

Unsung heroes of the Port
You too guys, though you are temporarily not doing much
Thought the boat would drive itself
Please stay at the helm and awake please
Get'em boys
Dinner at Bold Mariner
Not a lot of traffic most of the day. Some excitement today as a fishing boat escaping Hampton Roads slammed into the 1st Island of the CBBT and then ran around on the spine. Captain claimed engine failure but their AIS track say different. Bye bye Captains license. Please stay at the helm.

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.

Big Cedar Island

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.

Beast of a sailboat
Cape Charles
Now that's a fire.....
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.
