  • Fit for a pirate ship
  • What local boaters, include the fire department keep hitting. Stay in the channel

Lazy Monday on the Bay.   Had to respond to another boater who ran around outside the channel.   If you don't have a Chartplotter, please download a free navigation app.   Hope you had tow insurance or that's an expense mistake.

Expected more boats out today, but I guess the temps and wind kept some off the water.

Had the new MAR6 with me today, like old times as she used to be my intern.    Trained her on a lot of slow speed maneuvering, cause anyone can drive fast.

  • 186 is back
  • The big truck
  • 111 is pulled
  • Intrepid explorers
  • Medusa's head was cut off with a sword
  • The route doesn't even show on the charts
  • Completion!

Got a lot accomplished today.   Got to utilize my class A CDL as the garage had no one to drive the big truck.  Put 186 back in water after like forever.   Pulled 111 for overdue PM.   And the icing on the cake, after borrowing a smaller asset from VBFD, we finally completed The Medusa.    Transit from the ICW to the Lynnhaven Inlet straight across the city through various creeks and ditches without going through the locks.   Freshwater to Saltwater.   It was challenging in sections, but we were victorious.

  • 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.

Slow day on the water.   Only saw commercial traffic, so we took a quick jaunt over to the Ocean View Black Cat Colony.
