Re: Boating the Upper Chesapeake
Finally have internet so I can post my first adventures to the Upper Chesapeake. What a beautiful area. Can't wait to go back again. Just a quick run through of my week.
Put boat in Charlestown then down to cottage. Was then insulted by Stan in a text message.
Watched North East fireworks from back yard. They were great. Bowman must have been anchored right near me.
Sunday did a little tubing and exploring the area over to HDG. Set out Sun. night to watch fireworks and boat overheated. Brandon towed me back. I owe him big time. Turned out to be loose belts.
Rest of week was mostly little runs, tubing, that type of stuff.
Finally met Scott on Friday. My wife thought he was a figment of my imagination. lol. Went out to eat at the River Shack in Charlestown. Good crabs and chicken.
Today was quite interesting. Woke up to rain. There was a little ramp next to cottage so I thought I would try to load boat there. My daughters went out to get the boat while I backed the trailer down the ramp. Boat kept on stalling. Don't know if it was wet or maybe out of fuel. Gauge read little under half tank. I ended up swimming the boat over and winching on the trailer. When it stops raining, I will find out what the problem is. But I am home safe and sound and looking forward to my next trip.
Forgot one important thing. It was hotter than the hinges of . . . !
One other thing. This trip would not have been possible without all you fine folks on here. It was nice meeting, chatting, texting everyone. Thank you again. You all are wonderful friends.
