Chesapeake City

 We ended up at Party City, ha, but let me go back.  Up at 5:15 am, on the road at 7:15.  We were in a tight spot but as usual Capt Dave got us out nice and slow with no excitement.  The seas were calm and the temperature was almost nice.  Our course was much like a 5:00 quittin’ time, there were boats everywhere and of every size.  It was an extremely nice ride today.  We even went up top to enjoy the new cooler weather.  We pulled into Chesapeake Inn and Marina and Tiki Bar.  It’s been going strong since we got here early afternoon.  The band has been playing constantly, the drinking heavy and the tattoos, short shorts and young women dressed for the heat (lots of skin and no bras, ha) have provided tons of free entertainment.  We walked through the bar to see town, very quaint with old houses from the early 1800’s. But the best or maybe the loudest show was all the racing speed boats. OMG you need hearing protection. Those boats hurt my ears, even with my fingers in them, it was still loud.  But what a show, some chick, one of the restaurant servers, actually ended up in the water.  Two guys pulled her out and back onto the dock. She was laughing so all was well.  Today we went 52 miles, 7 hours from Annapolis to Chesapeake City MD.

GIANT fly, at least the size of a quarter and they bite the crap out of you!

Goodbye 7 tankers in Annapolis.

I’m hot, when are we going to get there, I have to go potty, can I have a snack or a coke?
The yellow building is the oldest home here.. it’s now a restaurant.

This is a GINORMOUS tanker going down the “canal “. In, I think, 42’ of water.

Nice paint job!

Speed boat guy left his lid?trunk?hood open for the guys to admire.

 Marina.

Under the hood, my what a big engine you have😳

More boats, I guess there are too many boat pics, sorry!

The ginormous tanker again.

Our  neighbor..

Even the Trump speed boat was here.  Lots of Trump stuff here.

 We made it to Palmetto, FL.  The winds were still blowing too much, the water was still   Coast Guard departure    Jake and Harrison playing on the Ipad    We had a stowaway,  we turned him loose when we got close to shore, I didn't know how far they can fly so better safe than sorry   Our soldiers at work!!   Jake will be 14 in a few months   Harrison is 11 months rough but what a gorgeous shade of teal blue!  We only saw a few dolphin but none came to play along side of the boat.  I used the patch again and Ellie had her L-Theanine so we both tolerated the rocking' and rollin' better.  When we only had 3 hours left to go to reach the marina, we were hailed by the Coast Guard.  Oh, crimany, what did we do or not do???  We were asked to put the boat in neutral, did we have any weapons on board and may they come aboard for a safety check?  We did as asked, they pulled up beside us and came aboard. ...

Crabbing

 The day started out nicely.  Grant FaceTimed us, he and Harrison were hanging out at home. Grant got him to smile sooo big several times we even got to watch Daddy do Harrison’s tongue exercises  (tongue movement so everything heals correctly). The smiles were real and intentional, not just hot air came out of my butt kind of smiles!!🤪 It was so great to see them both!  I got the great idea to try my hand at crabbing, we took a chicken thigh and tied it with string to the crab trap, I thought it was pretty secure but I was wrong.  The first time we pulled the trap up, a big crab make a fast escape, the next pull we had a baby crab, the third pull we found the chicken thigh completely gone and no crab,  and one of the lines that pulls up the sides to trap the crabs inside had been chewed off. We pulled it up may more times but still no crab. But I am not giving up!  We had a squall come through the marina, we heard noise, it was lots of rain, looked u...
