On this Sunday afternoon, myself, Dusty, Mike, Tara, and Scott took a little ride down
the Canal to Delaware City.
(Click on a picture for a Hi-Res version)
|
Here's me as we head towards Delaware City from the Delaware
Bay side towards the C&D Canal. |
Uh Dusty, the camera's rolling... Dusty has a difficult time
leaving certain parts of his body alone.
|
|
|
Here's the entrance to the canal that we went through.
|
Here's some of the wildlife we saw.
|
|
|
Here's Mike and Tara enjoying the ride.
|
Speaking of wildlife, here's Scott and I.
|
|
|
These guys had a little remote control boat they were
following us around with.
|
Here it is again.
|
|
|
How come Dusty's the only one back there with a beer?
|
Here's the bottom of a low bridge we had to go under.
|
|
|
Here is it after we passed it.
|
And this shot shows just how low it really was.
|
|
|
Here's a view of the canal ahead as we were passing through
it.
|
The bridge in the background is the Reedy Point Bridge (Rt
9.).
|
|
|
Here I am enjoying the sunshine. |
Here's some more wildlife.
|
|
|
We're going to try to sneak up on it.
|
I think it noticed us.
|
|
|
Yup, we scared it away. Or maybe it just caught a whiff of
Dusty.
|
Here's another shot of the bridge.
|
|
|
For some strange reason, I allowed Dusty to captain the
boat.
|
Here I seem to be contemplating the possible results of my
decision to let Dusty drive.
|
|
|
I think Dusty knows what I'm thinking. Keeps your eyes on
the water Dust!
|
OK I think it's time for someone to bring me back to
reality.
|
|
|
Here's the St. George's Bridge.
|
Here it is again.
|
|
|
Here's the Rt 1 Bridge, with the St. George's Bridge in the
background.
|
And here they are again.
|
|
|
Mike and Tara don't get quite as excited about bridges as I
do. Actually, I don't think anyone does.
|
See my excitement!.
|
|
|
After our journey, we decided to try something unusual, so
we went to the Chesapeake Inn for pizza and beer. There's
Sheila and someone who I don't know.
|
Here we are at the bar.
|
|
|
We like the bar.
|
And we like the bartender, Donna.
|
|
|
I was trying to take this picture of our pizza in the
background, but these two got in the way..
|
After Dusty and Mike and Tara left, Scott and I headed down
to the Kolbe's, and caught this sunset along the way..
|
|
|
That bird was checking out the sunset too.
|
And I guess he called his friends. They must have that
NexTel thing.
|
|
|
And this is the Kolbes' boat, Breakin' Wind. There's Marty
on the left, and Rich is sitting down. I forget the dude's
name up top, but he's related to Karen or something..
|
And there's Kristen looking somewhat intoxicated.
|
|
|
Here I am trying not too look too intoxicated.
|
Here's the Kolbes' boat on the lift in their slip.
|
|
|
Sometimes I just wish I didn't let Scott take pictures..
|
Here's Karen and Kristen dancing. I'm pretty sure they asked
me to please not put these pictures on the 'net, but I won't
tell them if you don't.
|
|
|
The next two pictures are better. Really.
|
Now they're getting down...
|
|
|
It's good to have fun.
|
I hope Kristen's not puking on Rich's boat.
|
|
|
After all that excitement, I needed to cool down on the dock
with a frosty malted beverage.
|
And who should arrive - but Jim!
|
|
|
Here's Jim and Jennaire preparing to join us.
|
They didn't stay too long, and when they left, so did the
rest of us, and that was the end of that day's adventure.
