  • Fit for a pirate ship
  • What local boaters, include the fire department keep hitting. Stay in the channel

Lazy Monday on the Bay.   Had to respond to another boater who ran around outside the channel.   If you don't have a Chartplotter, please download a free navigation app.   Hope you had tow insurance or that's an expense mistake.

Had the new MAR6 with me today, like old times as she used to be my intern.    Trained her on a lot of slow speed maneuvering, cause anyone can drive fast.

  • 186 is back
  • The big truck
  • 111 is pulled
  • Intrepid explorers
  • Medusa's head was cut off with a sword
  • The route doesn't even show on the charts
  • Completion!

Got a lot accomplished today.   Got to utilize my class A CDL as the garage had no one to drive the big truck.  Put 186 back in water after like forever.   Pulled 111 for overdue PM.   And the icing on the cake, after borrowing a smaller asset from VBFD, we finally completed The Medusa.    Transit from the ICW to the Lynnhaven Inlet straight across the city through various creeks and ditches without going through the locks.   Freshwater to Saltwater.   It was challenging in sections, but we were victorious.
