Pictures of Chesapeake 5th Reunion

[sim]

Adam and I have been home for 24 hours and back in the real world.
Was waiting to let someone else (knarloid- yes, you) start this but when I texted him this afternoon to find out if the cat had gotten his mouse he told me he was still hangin' on Dobbins with a few folks. CURSE you knarloid.
We showed up for breakfast saturday morn. About 10 boats there.

Did those photos not post?

so-going back

Next Morning- Me and Droptop first ones alive - time to cruise.
Bruces boat at 6:30 in the morning. Quiet and peaceful.
Droptop (not his real name) sneaks aboard so we can quietly motor out.

Oh, these are the gifts I received in Annapolis yesterday. I'm sure Keith will elaborate.


Here we go - 3+ hours felt like 20 minutes.

Stopped for gas. (pop quiz to see who's paying attention)

Yeah, Chris is a real fuel pig.

Back home just in time for breakfast.

Thanks for letting me drive that beast Sim. Dodging crap pots and fisherman at 60 is good fun at sunrise.

It is. It does. Maxxum I think.

 

[DropTop5.0]

Twin 300s on a 281 Maxxum and a a 2800. Both are really cool.

Chris upgraded to twin diesels. Cool.

I heard Merc was water testing a new turbo diesel outboard. That's pretty cool that they decided to use Chris's Checkmate!!! I really like how they disguised them as older 2.5's too!!!! Sneaky sneaky!!

Chris upgraded to twin diesels. Cool.

Glad that I wasn't the only one thinking this....

Hey, I got news for you. At one point Chris had the only working outboards out of everybody and was on tow duty for the busted ones.
I'm not kidding.

OK, OK, I get the message.
Got home this evening by 5:30 after another awesome weekend with great friends and boats.

Just shaken off the Magothy Meatsweats buffet dinner (so much great food enjoyed!) and finally getting to catch up on forum etc.

Last time I saw pics of the "Orange Dreamcicle" ZT was right after it had been stolen and ran aground at a launch ramp. I'm glad to see he got it all fixed up and back on the water!!!

do elaborate.

At least his highlighter matched the boat!

Ehhh cop stopped me for speeding through a 6KPH. Navigator tucked up the cooler and after a 20 minute proctological the water police (actually very decent and nice- I think they're really checking to see if you're possibly impaired) saw that I had 10 life preservers, wasn't tanked but gave me only a warning (written) 0n the speeding- nothing on the expired flairs and 85 bucks on the fire extingisher on the yellow

do elaborate.

6 kph?
I can't idle that slow in mph
turtles would pass me up
at least you were still smiling.

Kidding, man? Of course I'm smiling. Great day, great people, great experience.
So, I screwed up and picked up a spanking.
85 bucks. By boating standards that's an extremely inconsequential amount.
Shoot, that's half a tank of gas. And no insurance points. Remember what B.O.A.T. stands for?
That ticket and warning? A love tap.
BTW Keith- I owe you a love tap for that one. (" Go here, Go there, Dobbins. "Oh sh*t it's the police"")
