CRUISERS TO THE CHESAPEAKE, ARM THY SELVES!

THIS IS SERIOUS.
We were attacked by house flies sailing between Jackson Creek and Solomon Island. We had more than 40 burials at sea before we started to make the SHU (shoo) (shoe) FLY PIE contest.
Rules to the SHOO FLY CONTEST:
The cruiser who guesses the exact number of flies killed on Blessed Spirit in two hours gets.....a new 135% genoa for their boat. Owners of Trawlers will just have to deal with it.
Readers who be upon the land, just think of a 65 ft tent. But please enter!
Judges decisions are final.
Results will be published in 48 hours.
Only 1 entry per response to this contest.
So... respond to this blog immediately.
Hint: Those of you who are rushing to Kinkos tonight to get a high definition 36x24 digital blow-up of the above photo so as to do an actual body count, beware... several bodies are on top of other bodies.
And if you are headed into the Chesapeake, arm yourselves. At least 2 fly swatters per crew member are recommended.
Scott, Tita says Hi to Irene! She thinks of her daughters fondly and often.
We will be leaving the boat at Tilghman Island MD for a month and will start driving home to Maine on Tuesday. The blog will continue. We will sail Blessed Spirit back home in June! You know, water temp, Ice, Black flies, etc.
RESULTS OF THE First Annual SHOO FLY PIE contest will be published Tuesday! How many entries will we get, and will there be a winner??
