... favorable conditions. We weathered the winds at anchor in Willoughby Harbor and, in fact, dragged anchor in a 35 knot squall early in the morning November 1.

Our "buddy boat" captain Bob delayed his crew arrival just as they were departing for the Detroit airport the morning of Oct 31. They would hold for word from Bob and have to arrange a new flight since one crew volunteer had a narrow window permitting his absence ...

... back in the game. The big one is in December during the weekend of the 3rd thru the 6th, in Tampa Florida playing at the SPOT (Skate Park of Tampa). The second week of November, we'll drive out there, to meet the owners of the SPOT, and get a chance to skate the park, and get some introductions.
The 2nd day of November, Josh went to Paradise Skatepark, located 30 mins from ...

... Creek October 25 for Willoughby Bay. Sailed on main and jib in N 15-25. Our White Magic hit bottom just before the channel outbound from Jackson Creek but successfully backed off. Unfortunately, we were following them and distracted by their situation, so we ended up running aground ourselves! We were seriously caught and were fortunate to be pulled off by Our White Magic. Otherwise would have spent hours kedging and waiting for high tide. Once departed ...

... understand because I was one of them at one time or another, and in a way I still am.

I spend 3-4 hours writing my blogs, and today is no exception. It would probably take me longer today because I have 2 or 3 separate entries to write and edit. My first several entries was shotgunned from the hips, with no editing, and they're my raw mind in action. The entry before this one is the first one I've edited, and I ...

... in. A few tuna and a wahoo thrown in made it a great day on the water.

I highly recommend deep sea fishing in Virginia Beach with Waterman Sportfishing. Next time you are in Virginia Beach you can find them at 757-753-3113. I believe they dock the boat at the Va Beach Fishing Center, 200 Winston Salem Ave., Virginia Beach VA 23451

... took a turn for the worst, everything got wet, and canceled. Jeff, the event organizer, was frantic about keeping the people at the park, he grabbed a squeegee and single handedly tried to dry up the skate park. The rain eventually kept on coming in waves, and waves, soaking out the park. The people that ran around from tent to tent started heading to the parking lot and filled the exit lanes going on home. Scion, was a major ...

... We headed over the south tunnel then back via the north tunnel, flying the spinnaker for the run toward the Hampton Bay Bridge tunnel in winds up to 20 kts. Good thing we had Pete along to help douse the spinnaker which can be challenging in high winds!

During the remainder of the month, Dave replaced the suction and discharge filter housings on the watermaker. Apparently some air leakage prevented the watermaker from developing full pressure and ...

... Bay on the Piankatank River arriving just before 4PM after a pleasant sail with partly sunny skies and N NW wind 12-18 kts. We spent the following day laid up in Fishing Bay due to stong NE winds and rain. Dave cleaned the props and barnacles off the hulls. We started the watermaker for the first time since it was “pickled” years ago by the prior owner. The quality of the water seemed good but we were ...

... some DVD's. The dogs, spent the day catching up on their zzzz's. To prepare for the trip back home, where it is snowing AGAIN, we had someone stop by to re-winterize the RV for us. This means no more running water to shower or wash up with. We're back to pouring windshield wiper fluid into the toilet to flush it. Oh well, we'll be home in a couple of days. We ran out of doggie food this morning so we ...
