Sitting still in Annapolis right now. Wind is on the nose for Solomon's, so we'll go into town for a late lunch in the sunshine. Can't beat that! We'll check the wind and weather tomorrow, and probably head out, else we cough up some more dough for Mr. Jabin, who I just met. Nice guy. We needed to move the boat to make way for a rather large Shannon motor sailor, and backing in was the only way. He saw the look on my face that said, "I just got a new insurance company 3 weeks ago, and bouncing off the Passport, and Hinkley on my way to the finger might be a bad way to introduce myself to them". As shameful as it was, he wanted to take a stab at moving the boat in reverse, so....I let him. Of course it was a perfect maneuver in the wind and current, and now I feel like I lost a stripe off the shoulder. Too early for beer?
You guys up for a slow trip down the river? Dinner maybe....
ReplyDeleteAwesome time. Was a pleasure meeting you two. Hope to see you again sometime next year.
DeleteNever to early, everyone gets lucky docking once in awhile, probably
ReplyDeleteNot his first time.
Still felt bad. Loss of manhood. Guinness helped.

ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better, Izzy has backed our boat out in a 20 kt west wind with weeds on the prop :0)
