No cooler in the picture?
I was going to take my daughter, her kids and the oldest girls boyfriend out tomorrow for a fun day on the water. Daughter is now stuck in Dallas due to all the flying problems going on. Will take them without her and enjoy the 4th with them!
Hope everyone has fun celebrating the 4th.

Good on the beer. Important to have nearby.
Daughter made it in at 4:30 this morning and made it to the boat. Great Independence Day on the water. Just what the she and the grandkids were hoping for: Dolphin and Dolphin babies in large pods near the beach. A couple of large turtles about 15 miles offshore and more spade fish than I've seen in my life swimming a few inches below the water. Dozens of boats out fishing near the spade fish, but I didn't see any hook ups. We could have had all we wanted if I just brought a net, but they were mostly small.

I pulled the boat up/under the CBBT today and the water looked beautiful. Saw many a raft ups along the beach and a ton of boats Cobia fishing the bridge, even saw a guy snorkeling near a boat around the pilings - assume spear fishing?

Wow. I saw a guy snorkeling about 1/2 mile from the 1st island on my way from Little Creek to Cape Henry about 10:30 this morning. Sorry we missed each other, but maybe another time. It was very calm today. Like glass out at the Chesapeake light tower.

I hope everyone had a great 4th. I spent 6 days in a row on the water. Don’t get much better than that.

It’s in the mold now.
