Bih '08

I did run it about 25 miles today... Trying to figure out why I am seeing 11.35 volts and not the usualy 13.5 on the port engine. (Yes... I checked the belt).

We got a thunderstorm on Monday at the Hyatt in Cambridge complete with 60 MPH winds. Blew my port side isenglass panel inward. Fortunately, Truly Blessed II rode it out without damage-the new 48DA two slips down was not so fortunate. WInd was on the port side, coming hard out off the west up the Choptank River, and our slips were all orinted north-south. 2' chop in the Marina. Before we could get her lines set properly and secondary lines on pilings, that beautiful 07 48 Dancer beat herself up on the starboard side pilings. One portlight (the vertical side windows) was knocked out and one portwindow was punched out on a piling as well. 3' of riub rail torn loose. The family of 6 was aboard at the time and the wife and kids beat feet for the Hyatt-wife did not come back aboard the boat.

The 420DA two slips away on my port side had about 4' of rub rail torn loose and some real gouging to the pretty blue gelcoat. One long evening. Storms at the Inner Harbor? Bring it on.

It sounds like they were trying to dock in a storm. Don't tell me that's true.

Well guys... Four Suns isn't going to make it.
OK.. Now I'll come clean. I really don't own a boat.

The real reason Four Suns isn't going to BIH...

And yes, your docking will be graded and photographed tomorrow.

Posted on 6/19..yeah, Gary is a little slow these days.

Good thing we were not counting on you to 'show us the way' up there...we'd end up in Cape May, NJ on our own probably.

The Mrs and I are heading out in a bit. We were counting on drinking Gary's beer and water and eating his food, so now we will be brining our own. I assume we need to bring dock chairs too?
 
My wife asked if I was bringing plates and utensils for the pot luck, to which I said "huh?".

I just got back from the store.

CJ and I will be arriving on Festivus and Full Circle at around 10 AM. Get you cameras ready.

One more thing: the sailing club based at my marina is also having an event at IHE today, and they also think they are going to use the deck area. So we need to be prepared for a turf battle.:smt021

We can take 'em! Right Skip?
 
FC3, the 48DA was in her slip when the storms hit-just not set up properly with lines and fenders. The owner was a really nice guy. I felt bad that I did not get to him sooner with my spare lines to get him off the pilings. Saddest sight was watching him shove oranage PFDs between the pilings and the boat to prevent damage. The PFDs were next to useless.

Gary, I have been ignoring the BBerry phone this week. I will set it to loud and stand by. Good call not to run 140NM for a shakedown. I won't kid you about crappy planning at all.

I am not sure where things ended up with the names tags, but....

While packing up the Mrs showed me peel and stick name labels she made for everybody, even with the Club Sea Ray logo on them. You will need to write your name on them.

We plan to be there around 2:30, with bells on.
 
boy, it sure it quiet around here when all of the rowdy ones are in transit.
 
Gee Wes... If you want me to give an update as I travel today I can. It's perfect boating weather, SW winds 5-10 knots, mostly sunny, 85 degrees... I'm stuck in the passenger seat as my son drives the car to Baltimore:

How's that?
 
Well with the red light on the port side I see you are not doing the "Red Right Return" thing:lol:

Why are you holding on so much. Does this have something to do with the son driving.:smt100 (Looks like you are digging into the dash board there with your hand)
 
Oh yeah... the sub-zero freezer on the boat wouldn't even get to zero so the "dish" that was in there went bad. My wife wanted to serve it up anyway saying no one would know (wouldn't get sick) until we left but I didn't think that was a good idea.

So is there like a Taco Bell around this place where I can pick up a half dozen veggy tacos for the bring a dish thing?
 
Exactly the updates I was looking for but thought you would start your own topic about your trip. Get on it. :thumbsup:
