We turned
a rainy day into a fun filled afternoon for the kids at the Mini'Vous.
Daniel and Claire Gabor go for a spin in the tube behind Charbonneau's
dinghy (9/17/02) |
Passing
the familiar Wolf Trap Light as we continue heading south (9/20/02)
|
Janet
catches Blaine with his mouth full of her famous Pita Pizzas. Good
stuff! (9/21/02)
|
 
We were
flying our Red, White, and Blue as we sailed into Norfolk. Wanted
to show our patriotic spirit for the warships we passed. (9/21/02) |
 
As we sailed into
Norfolk, we not only caught up with the American Rover, we passed
her! Not bad for a 'slow' Island Packet. (9/21/02)
|
 
The Cape
Ann gets a little help as she comes through a Norfolk bridge. The
small sailboat in the foreground of the picture on the right was motoring
as fast as they could to avoid being in Cape Ann's path. (9/22/02)
|
 
We caught
up with our friends Ed, Patty, and their son Andy for a daysail in
Norfolk. Andy was a big hit with the dogs! (9/22/02) |
 
Janet
supervises some dog play while we wait for the Deep Creek Lock.
Lockmaster Kay has a great job where she can bring her dogs to work.
Max and Bailey enjoyed the time off with new friends. (9/23/02)
|
  
Blaine
missed most of the Dismal Swamp Canal on our way south. He was
enjoying an upside-down repair job on our refrigerator. It decided
to not work that day, but turned out to only need new brushes. Luckily,
we had spares. (9/23/02)
|
Blaine reminisces
on our short summer in the Chesapeake as we get closer to home, making
our way across the Albemarle Sound. (9/24/02) |
Bailey
does his own reminiscing, or maybe he's just dreaming of getting back to
more coconuts and sandy beaches this winter. (9/24/02)
|
Charbonneau
tied up to the new boardwalk and free docks in Washington, NC (10/04/02)
|
 
Mike
Stocum and Blaine take a day's sail from Washington, NC to Bath,
NC. Mike was the best man at our wedding. Doesn't he looks
like a natural behind the helm? (10/04/02) |
The view
of Bath Harbor, historic home of Edward Teach, AKA Blackbeard, on
our way in.
|
Blaine
takes the helm of the new Island Packet 485 while helping deliver the boat
from Rock Hall to Annapolis, MD for the 2002 Boat Show. .
|
Janet and
David Heaphy, owner of hull #1, show their smiles during the delivery.
|
 
The
delivery crew, with Ed Kurowski at the helm, enjoy a little snack
underway. Bob (right) shows how relaxing the rear seat can be.
|
 
Our crew
visits the IP485 for a 'dog sizing'. Unfortunately, the cockpit was
too small for our family (right). We'll postpone our purchase until
a future date.
