Summer of 2008 Boating Adventures, So Far.

Thought I would give a brief photo synopsis of the summer until now. Hopefully the best is yet to come.

We bought the new boat, a 2004 Sea Ray 280 Sundancer on April 30th. It was originally called Sea Meant.

I quickly changed the name to Cherie Amour.

A Magma gas grill was purchased and mounted with a quick release mount on the swim platform.

This area of Frog Mortar Creek is alongside of Martin Airport property. Years ago only a handful of boats would be here. Now with the price of fuel nearing $5.00 per gallon, this place gets very busy. It's a great place to swim and there are nearby restaurants and bars.What these boats are doing is called rafting. That is tying boats together while at anchor.

This is Cherie's idea of rafting.

Here are a few pictures of an evening with Steve and Lindsay.

Bill and Jenn.
Here are Brad, Jamie, Cetta and me doing a Brady Bunch impression.

More to follow as we plan some trips to Rock Hall and Fairlee Creek. There is still some good boating weather ahead and if I remember to take some pictures I'll document our travels.

The More Things Change.......

Happened to find some old pictures and noticed a similarity.

If you notice the background in this picture you'll see Conrad Ruth's Villa, a outdoor party facility on Edwards Lane in Bowleys Quarters.

This first one was taken 1989
