You just had to take a peek at yesterday’s dolphin picture didn’t you? You’re all too shy to put a comment on the blog but we had some pretty funny comments nonetheless. Sorry, but I don’t have any more males showing off for you today.
The surf was up on the ocean side of Barden Inlet today so Maynard and I went body surfing in the North Atlantic Ocean, something we’ve wanted to do for a long time. The only other excitement for the day was another beached vessel in the Inlet. The owners told us they were “cleaning the bottom” but it was perfectly clean when we sauntered past in our kayaks so perhaps a little faux pas had occurred. Tow Boat US with flashing red lights went over to assist them but must have realised they were too far gone to risk pulling it back out into deeper water. They will be waiting until well after dark to be floating again although this tide is lower than the previous high tide. A speed boat buzzed us yesterday waving madly and went hooning around the anchorage. We were amused to see that the owner ran it up on the beach at full speed. He realised his oopsie, and revved the heck out of the engine in reverse to no avail. Tow Boat US came to the rescue after the owners sat in the cockpit for a couple of hours waiting for help. We don’t have Tow Boat US or Sea Tow in Australia although we do have VMR (Voluntary Marine Rescue) and the Coast Guard but seriously, if you make a mistake, you’re pretty much on your own there which means one needs to be more self-sufficient and conservative on the water.
