Eileen and I met up with three other boats in the Magothy River on Saturday and spent the night rafted up! We absolutely had a blast! We met up with Sailnet friends, shared food, drinks, and stories! Unfortunately, the winds were very light so we motored both ways. The story of the passages can be summed up in one word..."DEBRIS!" Tropical storm Lee moved through the Mid Atlantic and Northeast this week. This storm dumped over a foot of rain and overflowed river banks etc. The Conowingo Dam operators opened 48 of the 50 flood gates and it sent a s**t load of debris our way. Here are some pics of what I'm talking about!
We were the third of four boats to arrive
All tied up!
We all had appetizers for dinner. The food was plentiful.
Just caught the sun going down. The scenery was magnificent.
and...we woke up in pea soup! Still, a great overnight trip!
Before we parted ways on Sunday morning, we had some quiet time together. In remembrance of our fallen brothers and sisters 10 years ago, we played Alan Jackson's "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning." It was really an emotional time as we all just sat, listened and processed 9/11 in our own way.
