plagerized lyrics from the song "bubbly"
It tickles my soul, from the bottom of my toes to the tip of my nose - what is
it?
Seeing the fleet of 6 Montgomery boats under sail in nice winds on the
Cheasapeake cruise last week - 2 with white sail, 3 with tanbark, and 1 with
egyptian cotton - a very pretty sight. We bring our own scenery.
We saw very few boats out in this remote section of the Potomac river (4 miles
wide) and its tributaries - Yecomico River.
Another great criuse with good winds but unstable weather.:
Friday winds were 10 - 15 with gusts to 25,
Saturday tornado watch, winds 15 -20 with gusts to 30, Thunderstrom Saturday
night with gust to 35 and very close lighting
Sunday winds 8 - 12 with a vicious line squall/thunderstorm at 50kts (NOAA wind
speed at Lewisetta VA near where we were)
Monday winds were 12 - 18 but against the current so was bit bouncy.
It sure was nice to have a good anchor.
Al Williams had an 11lb bruce down and we had an bear of a time getting it out
of the mud the next morning. We had to tie a line on to the chain and
winch it to the max and it still would not come free. Had to get the
winched line as tight as we could and then shift the weight to the opposite
side.
Anyway - another great cruise and feeling bubbly :-)
