So there I was, the day before St. Patrick's Day, just
minding my own business, when Scott calls up and says "Hey, wanna go
boating?" Silly question...
(Click on a picture for a
Hi-Res version)

Scott wanted to take a look at Joe's boat, which he is considering
purchasing. There's Scott, Joe, and his chick, Missy. She's on the
maintenance plan. Also notice the first beer of the summer! |
Here you can see that there was still snow on the bank. |
|
|
All the other boats were still shrink-wrapped on land! |
Take a quick glance over at the tachometer. Yup, 5 grand. We were cruising
around 70 mph here... |
|
|
The quarry looks about the same at 70 as it does at 35. |
Hanging out on the Susquehanna River. |
|
|
You can see snow on the hills in the quarry too. |
There's three of the four bridges over the Susquehanna. (at 70 mph) |
|
|
Here's me in front of the Portside Grill. My first boating trip of 2003!
Leather may be inappropriate for boating, but it is only March 16th... |
Now that we're going slow enough to focus the camera, here are the guages. |
|
|
This is the door that Joe will be putting back on the boat. Scott sure will be
snug in there! |
This little island looks a lot different with no leaves on the trees! |
|
|
This is what Scott's hair looks like at 70 mph. Notice the position of the
throttle. Scott wouldn't have it any other way... |
And here's Turkey Point. |
|
|
There's Joe and Missy snuggled in the warm cabin. |
After a not-so-exciting attempt at a meal in Port Deposit, we took the 15
minute trip (70 mph) to the Chespeake Inn. We'd heard good things about
that place, I think one of us had been there before.
|
|
|
Here you can see that we were the only boat at the Inn. The deck doesn't
open until the first weekend in May. (We'll be there!) |
Here's me practicing reading the Nor'easter at 70 mph. |
|
|
Here's Scott driving again. |
Missy's keeping warm in the cabin |
|
|
Got beads? This is the first set of boobs Scott saw on his (possibly) new boat.
And if he has anything to say about it, it won't be the last. |
