... John, Paul and Carter—who were the same crew that helped us bring the boat south after purchase in December 2006. We topped off our dinghy fuel. Dave awaited the arrival of a replacement B&G electronic component, having been assured that it would arrive prior to our departure. When it failed to arrive by the end of October he was beginning to reconcile himself to the fact that we would have to set sail without it.

... he slipped out on a rail grind. Due to the lack of space, small size of lot, closely placed ramps, it was hard to find the flow in the park. Most of the skaters just went back and forth on the two big ramps, and did tricks off the half pyramid in the center with a rail. There was good competition there, a lot of skaters were good. Josh even played a makeup game of SKATE for a complete ...

Together the next day we motored in calm wind to St Michaels and walked through this very quaint town. We were rafted again for the evening.

On October 21 we motored in calm wind to Solomons. Donna piloted through the Poplar Island Narrows. We rafted with Our White Magic in Mill Creek near Solomons. The following day we sailed and motored to Indian Creek on winds SW 10-15 decreasing and backing. We had to motor the final 4 hours. We took ...

... Everyone said their goodbyes and wished Josh luck on his pro tour. Over at Brandon's pad, we went over almost everyday after skating a good session all over town with Markie. Brandon's interest in skateboarding picked up after we hosted a birthday party for Brandon and Aaron. In reciprocity, we gave him one of our setup from our supply for his birthday gift. Brandon did more than just host a birthday for Josh on the ...

... 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

Yeah, as the title of this entry suggested, it rained out. Just 10-20 minutes before Josh was to compete at the Wave Riding Vehicle's Sk8 Bash, it rained, and boy did it rain *************e was scrambling to keep their boards dry huddling under the tents selling the vendor's wares. There was a good turnout, about 30 kids in each difficulty levels, beginners, intermediate, and advanced. Markie came with us to root Josh on, but alas the ...

... checkup performed and had filter dryers installed in the refrigeration lines for both the freezer and refrigerator. We would be setting the larger unit to act as our freezer which we wanted for more capacity.

During the summer, we noticed that the satellite phone wouldn’t turn on. Donna placed a phone call to a representative in Norfolk who identified the problem as a dead internal battery. Unfortunately, the batteries (which have a 6-7 year ...

Finally—back to sailing! We've spent Labor Day week out cruising with Alize. We left Norfolk September 5 sailing on pleasant, sunny N NE 10-15 kt winds to the Severn River on Mobjack Bay. This was the first upwind "test" of our new main sail and rudders. We took a long tack across the Bay then headed for Mobjack. Caught only a couple small bluefish on the clark spoon – no keepers. The next day we headed to ...

... hoping to avoid writing big checks.

By noon, I had gone over the basics and was ready to try to fire up the diesel. I turn the key…dead. Batts look good…I try again…..no dice. Then I look and find the battery switches turned to the off position… ok. I try again….it cranks but wont fire. But after a bit of prompting the fuel pump in the engine room, the big diesel grunts and fires. First Forty ...
