creekazoids take the Mobjack! ..... from P

We had everything - a Friday night sail under the moon, perfectly sunny conditions in optimal wind, gusty conditions up to 25 knots, sailing in a torrential rainstorm, and rip currents caused by the full moon and northeasterly storm combined. All within a Labor Day weekend. Neil and Carol, aboard Isabel's Revenge, sailed with us up into the East River of the Mobjack Bay to join up with our real boat club (the dues billing kind), OPCYC. After a perfect sailing day, we rafted together and soon saw Fred aboard Belladonna (yet another boat he is working on), Fred's brother Russell aboard Overkill, and John aboard Seabiscuit. We rode the dinghy over to the OPCYC raft-up and did happy hour with them - wow, nice boats, but not nearly as well travelled.

By sunset we had five creekazoids rafted together - forming a larger group than the OPCYC had! On Sunday, K led the group in a floaty session while the guys played with our snorkel & diving toys. Turns out, Neil's mom and stepdad live two rivers over (Ware River). So we sailed over there Sunday evening and got ourselves invited into their home for an incredible meal of fresh baked redfish, aka puppy drum around here. Monday we faced a hard rain most of the day, but the sailing was good. I looked back through the rain at the boats coming out of the Mobjack and thought - just kill me now, unless I can do this again soon.
