We lost count of all the bridges. We think we went under a total of around 28 bridges. Guessing about half we had to request an opening. Anyway, on Saturday April 17 we went 46 miles (long day) to what we were hoping was going to be a wonderful Marriott resort and marina. Wan wa... not so nice but ok. It featured an over the hill hotel, a tiny pool full of drunks who never got out of the pool (and you know what that means) and a totally exposed marina. Winds blew between 20 and 25 as we docked. We got pinned against a piling as we tried to tie off. On this day... we were the show.
Several people on the dock came out to help and we eventually got her tied off. Boating folks are so nice and always eager to help. Next door lady tried to make us feel better by telling us we worked together like a well oiled machine. Right. One guy even offered us his personal slip in New York on the Hudson. Looking out for the public safety at local marinas I'm guessing.
No pictures... not worth it.
