Ah, to be out sailing on Mahone Bay again after 3 years! It was the best. Mahone Bay has "An Island for Every Day". There are 365 islands or outcroppings in the bay and it is just gorgeous and the very best sailing. We chose Thursday when the forecast was for lots of sun and light winds. Rick and Tanya keep Auriga on a mooring so we dinghyed out to begin our day.
Tanya, ever the perfect hostess, provide nice munchies and Rick provided the cold beer.
After all of our time in the Intracoastal Waterway, the Chesapeake and the Bahamas we had become accustomed to shallow water and often anchored in 10 feet or even less. I sort of panicked when I saw the depthometer climbing to a depth of 88 feet! Dizzying effect almost!
We sailed over to Chester and took a spin by the restarant where Kirby and I had celebrated our anniversary 3 years ago. We had sat outside for just a few minutes and then asked for a table indoors as it was freezing outside. We would have enjoyed some of that coolness on this trip. It was really hot the whole time we were there.
Depthometer? Ah ha ha ha ha! You are definitely now a landlubber.
ReplyDeleteI believe fathometer would be the correct term.
PS Love the matching necklace you wear while sailing. Screams landlubber.
PPS I love you! You are one of the most fun people I know. Lucy is another... Thanks for letting me tease you. xoxoxoxo
