Great Day for Boating
Best day of the year so far for boating on Chesapeake Bay. Accompanied
by wife and my in-laws, we got an early start from Chesapeake Beach, headed up towards the Bay Bridge, came down through Kent Narrows, visited St. Micheals for a while, then went as far up the Miles River as the Route 370 bridge. Wish the rest of the summer would be as temperate as today. Some snaps: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...oating/027.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...oating/033.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...oating/037.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...oating/049.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...oating/055.jpg Gas was $3.69+, diesel $2.59+ over at St. Michaels. Very light boating traffic on the Bay. |

Very light boating traffic on the Bay. Glad to read you had a good day on the shakedown cruise. We are in the water and will be taking ours out (weather cooperating) over the weekend). Gasoline prices at the 2 corner gas stations was at $3.49 as of this morning and predicted to stay there through the summer. This was up from $3.08 just yesterday. |

Gas at the local corner stations here (Wawa, for example) was $3.07 today, but over on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, the news reported, it was $2.87. This is going to be a terrible year for many boaters. |

This is going to be a terrible year for many boaters. Last weekend our marina was still under $3/gallon. The marinas around here (for the most part) only raise prices when they get a new shipment of gas to refill the tanks. That price stays until the next shipment arrives. The marinas will soon be close to $4/gallon once they refill their tanks. |

Very light boating traffic on the Bay. We had a terrific day on Canandaigua lake two weeks ago today. Perfectly clear, 70+, no wind. Here's what we found: http://www.mpnnow.com/news/view_stor...articleId=8558 "An hour earlier, a boater on Canandaigua Lake called 911 to report that a cottage on Granger Point Drive in South Bristol was on fire..." "...The Naples fire wasn’t nearly as bad. The cottage’s owner, Mike May, was out of town running some errands when it started. He later arrived at the scene and told Naples Fire Chief Pat Elwell he had left at about 8 a.m. and that a housekeeper had arrived a short while later. The fire was limited mostly to a four-foot crawl space between a new roof and the older flat roof, Elwell said. “We’re suspecting it was electrical in nature,” he said." "May lives in Florida in the winter months and had just returned to the summer home over the weekend. His wife had not yet arrived, Elwell said. May declined help from the Red Cross, and will be staying with family in the Rochester area while repairs are made to the roof and the electrical system of the cottage." "Elwell’s crew was helped by firefighters from Bristol, Cheshire and Honeoye." “For that boater to catch it at that state actually is what allowed us to get in there to make a quick stop on it to minimize the loss,” Elwell said. “We were able to salvage all its contents. ...It was actually a good save.” YUP, that was us out on the water. There was nobody else around for the ~ 1 hr we were down there. It's a good thing we happened by! Rob |

Hey Krauseter, was the cruise on your lobster boat? And I know it's a great comfort to have a M.D. on board just in case. Cheers, William |
