Mother’s Day Memories..2013
We were able to slip our lines around 6:30am on Saturday for a planned sail to Gibson Island on the Magothy River. No wind and very calm water allowed Tina to practice boat handling skills and she did great. By the time we made it to the mouth of the Patapsco River the low oil pressure alarm went off and we decided to head into White Rock creek to set the hook. The weather forecast was calling for severe T-storms all afternoon and one look at the sky confirmed the forecast. So, 75 feet of chain in 11 feet of water with our trusted 55 pound delta well set in the mud and we were good to go.
Spent the rest of the day in the hammock, going for dinghy rides and catching some sun. Generally speaking it was a great afternoon.
While we were in the hammock we watched three young kids playing at the dock. Two were older maybe 10-12 and the third was a lot younger maybe 5 or 6. The older 2 were messing around with a floating chair and taking it over to a sandy beach about 100 feet away. The younger one was left on the dock, clearly following the parental warning about going into the water. So the younger one runs up and around the little cover to get to the sandy beach with the others. As soon as he left the dock the older two headed back to the dock. Then when the younger one runs back to the dock….yup, the older two go back to the beach. This went on two or three times. It so reminded us of our older three. It is a wonder how every third child is NOT a serial killer.
The promised storm did hit and we stayed below for the night listening to some great old jazz on the radio, reading a little, ate a great meal and played some games and relaxed.
Sunday we tried waiting out the high winds before heading back to the marina, but by 1pm it was clear that the winds were not going to ease. So don the foulies, check the engine oil, Tina on the helm while I pulled up the anchor and cleaned a ton of mud off the rode and away we went.
24-28 kts of steady wind with gusts to the mid 30’s, on the nose of course. Made it back to the marina, parked and washed the boat then washed ourselves then down to Shuckers for a dinner and ousters then ledbetters for a drink and a couple games of pool then to Green Flash to watch the survivor ending then to bed.
Overall a really nice week end.
Until next time. Have a great day all!! (Yup both of you that actually read this.)
