I guess it's that time again

My wife has been after me for several years to do the Chesapeake. In fact we are part of the behind the scenes driving force to push for a group trip down that way. I used to plan and co-ordinate the yearly trips with a bunch of friends and quickly learned you can please some of the people some of the time and all of the people NONE of the time!

These days we prefer to plan our own trips, share the itinerary and if we cross paths with friends that's great. We have no qualms about traveling solo. In fact some of our best memories are the solo parts.

FWIW - traveling with a large group means you can only go to the most popular of places and even then it can be hard to get everyone into a slip. Traveling solo opens up many more places. Most marinas can always squeeze in one more boat but 5 or 6 is a no go!

I feel the same way. I plan my trip and tell others, if they want to come along, fine, if they want to meet, fine, if they want to go to Belmar - well, that's fine too!

PS - thanks, John, now I know who to blame...
 
We learned the hard way about having others on the trip. One of them ran over us just of Watch Hill Fire Island and sank! We travel alone now. In fact his boat was in BoatUS with the story about him following too closely. Not!!! We were sitting still for about 5 minutes and he ran our a$$es over!
You know. Look for the lead boat, steer that way and continue yacking over your shoulder.

Anyway,

I think I have it made. The S.O. is offering to allow the purchase of a Northern boat since it's a buyer's market. Heck. 10K will get a decent boat and we won't have to drive it around. Now if I can only locate a diesel inboard cuddy for 10k...

Hogan bring my back a doggy bag. About 250 gallons should do.
