  • Splish splash
  • Next year's abandoned vessels

Rough day on the bay, but sometime it helps to go out in the washing machine to prepare and train for the real thing.   You have to go out, but you don't have to come back.

  • One of my last days with this old girl, she's been a great patrol boat
  • Can't hide money

Started the day by getting underway looking for a navigational hazard a citizen called in. Unable to locate that I patrolled both branches of the Lynnhaven River and the rest of the inside waters.   Seems the only person's on the water were me, some commercial guys and a handful of fisherman.
