... bringing the beast with us. The marketers could appreciate our sponsorship decals we post all over the RV. <br> I was not too worried about Josh's first competition. He could have warmed up at the first two which should have taken place before the Dawn of the Shred. Hotline Surf and Skate moved their dates to November 14th, which we already have left town for that, and WRV's competition ...

... wind was 40 degrees higher than the true wind direction.<br><br>We anchored in the Rhode River where we could play host to friends John and Joan and their friend Gail while visiting the Annapolis sailboat show. We ended up staying on the Rhode River until departure October 19 due to incessant inclement weather. On October 14 Dave had an appointment to sail with the Quantum sail guys to re-evaluate the main&#8217;s issue with its battens (some of ...

WARNING Rough Draft Copy. Editing will come throughout the week.<br><br><br>Ahhh... it's the 29th of October, and I've slowly started to pack up all our things we have accumulated over the last 29 days staying here at First Landing State Park. I've washed all the dishes, and locked down most of our belongings in our cabinets and closets. Laundry has been done, and there are only a few things left for me to do to get ready ...

... were there and out went the lines. The mate was on his toes as he quickly set up 6 rigs. We were thinking we would be trolling for a half hour or more before we saw any action but that wasn't the case. To everybody's surprise the first rig went off just as the mate finished letting out the last line. And the reel was screaming too, we ...

We spent September 13 on a day sail with guests John, Jim and Charlene, Wally and Michelle. We sailed through the North Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel on N winds 10-15 kts, then sailed back via the south tunnel. We spotted a very impressive flock of rays along the way and enjoyed a nice lunch spread. Dave was happy to have plenty of helpers eager to take the helm and adjust sails. <br><br>We spent September 21 on a day sail with Dave's dad, Norma and brother ...

... a very low flow rate, well below the manufacturer&#8217;s rated flow so this was something we would have to investigate further before considering the re-start a success. On September 9 we headed southbound to the East River on Mobjack Bay on north winds blowing 15 kts. The weather was not proving to be very nice this week so we spent another day laid up in the East River. It was rainy and miserable. Dave and John (out of ...

A random woman in Nashville, with one leg, asked Kristi to hold her dog in a bar so she could get a picture of her dog at Tootsie's. Right...<br>8. At the food store Publix in Charleston they bag your groceries, wheel them to your car, and unload them. We should have brought ...

... the **** out of my tongue on a cup of mint chocolate tea, I can't taste a damn thing. Mel is a girl I went to highschool with, and met up with on myspace a few months earlier, as serendipitious luck would have it. She took me on an hour and a half tour of William and Mary uni, which is a beautiful campus, and it was nice to soak up some intellect from my surroundings. Mel is quite the talker, so I had a constant commentary about things, which was nice. She had to work ...

... returned to the hotel to shower and change for some more shopping and dinner. We went to target, and we both bought more than we should have! Good times though. Dinner was mediocre at the Lynnhaven Fish House. I was so dehydrated that I got pretty drunk off my one glass of wine. Our waiter was rather touched as well - seemed like he might be doing ...
