Re: 4th of July 2010 - Tell us your stories! (post pics!)

Friday and Saturday my daughter took the boat out with her friends; I did some work on the other one.
Sunday I went out to catch bait and then my wife and I went fishing for a while in the Bay, it was a little rough, then cruised a few miles up the beach to an inlet and ate dinner at a dockside restaurant, then back out at dark to anchor off the beach from which they were shooting fireworks. In addition to that display we could see 4 or 5 other big displays as well as "private" ones up and down the beach. Came home in fairly choppy water, passing a large stream of boats leaving downtown's fireworks, many of the boats were poorly lighted, running too fast and all over the channel. I just eased up the edge, out of the way.
Sunday it was hot but I went out fishing in the harbor for a few hours. Love having a bimini. Also love being able to just tie it up to the pier and walk away.
it's great to have so many options, and the center console is the most versatile boat in which to enjoy all of them, without worry about the conditions--of the water or of the boat.

We rent a slip at the Havre de Grace MD city Yacht basin every year because they launch the fireworks there. We had a GREAT slip on the T right near the launch site.

But first, we entered the truck and boat into the Havre de Grace parade...

No pics, but the most memorable 4th of July ever.... I took my love and my girlfriend out on the Delaware Bay from Cape May to watch the sunset. I proposed to her as the sun was half set and about an hour and a half later was welcomed back into Cape May harbor by fireworks all around. Truly spectacular!

We had chamber of commerce weather and a great time on Greers Ferry Lake. Cruised out a little way to set up for the fireworks and made great use of the grill while we waited for the show to begin. However, I felt a little strange when the girl who checked me into the marina asked if I was related to the Coop whose boat sank earlier that day. I'm not aware of any family with a boat there, but that's not exactly a common name. As we were leaving the marina the next day I saw their empty slip, then we encountered a hazard buoy out on the lake that was likely where the boat went down. Spooky.
