sweet boat ride at dusk
high tide on manahawking bay was about 8 pm so decided to take a ride
at about 6:30. boat's a trawler so does about 7 kts crusining...took the wife and 2 poodle about 5 miles up the ICM for about 45 mins then came back looks quite a bit different when you're at the helm at night. not too many boats out...people on the shore having dinner, and smells of grilling fill the air. the sunset was very nice and it felt like we had the water all to ourselves. boating is a great experience...always something new, but always a wonderful time. |

When I could I used to go over to the Lake and especially friday evening when the days were really long, and cruise around slow. when I had my old 27 ft'r it was more fun blubbering through the coves at about walking speed if that fast. Crossing the lake on a good moon was cool too. dim the dash lights sit up on the top of the cabin and let it talk. Kill the engine out in the middle of the lake and just listen to the small waves lap the side of the hull and watch the stars... gotta love it! |

There's really nothing quite as good as being out on the water on a nice clear, dark night and seeing all the stars. If you lay on the deck and look up you are almost guaranteed to see some shooting stars, and every once in a while, a satellite passing overhead. Down in the tropics it is not uncommon to leave a trail of phosphorescence behind you in the wake. |

It was my pleasure, my friend. BTW, this isn't my pic but this is what I used to have. Man was it a blast until the wood hull started to de- laminate, and I couldn't keep up with it, a few years ago I salvaged what I could out of it before it totally cratered. http://ads.boatboss.com/97_Lafayette...r_27_ft_..html It was so much fun to take it out in the evening when the sun was going down and there was that nice yellowish-red hugh in the sky and almost no breese. Shut the thing off out int he middle of the lake, turn on the anchor lights and go swimming. Then later, just lay on top of the cabin with the local college jazz station on the radio, sip some peach brandy and eventually sack out in a sleeping bag... I wish mine was on good shape and I wish I had it back Man, what a blast! |
