Monday with Charley

After talking about it for a couple of years now, Charley and I 

finally got out for a sail on our home waters.  We sailed on Bay 

Rhumb, out of Forked River, on a gorgeous fall Monday.

  I fully planned on coming home that afternoon loaded 

with pictures and anecdotes, ready to have a couple of cocktails

and attack the laptop at full speed.  It was when I stopped for

corn and tomatoes on the way back that I realized I left my camera 

on the boat, hanging on the gear shifter, seen in the second photo

of Charley's post, chronicling said outing.  Luckily, the Park Ranger 

on duty at the marina was able to board my boat and bring the

camera safely to the office until the weekend.  So much for highlights

of the day.  No worries.  Sandscraper did an exemplary job of 

providing photos and riveting commentary during our 21 minute

trip back up the river to the State Marina.  If you have a spare 21

minutes to watch the clip, it'll give you an idea of what we see on 

our way home every time we sail.  The sound is kinda low, so use 

headphones if you've got 'em.  I always say that the trip down 

the river and back is just as enjoyable for me as the time sailing on 

the bay. It gives me an opportunity to anticipate the day as well as 

to reflect on the day we just had. I gotta get one of them Go-Pros.

I'll post a couple of photos when I get my camera back, but my friend

has done our day of sailing some serious justice.
