When Paul got back from Chattanooga we moved the boat to a small “day only” city dock tie up.
As we motored there we felt that we had a very strong outgoing tide and/or river current as we were only making 3.5 knots! Once in the small man-made cove -
aided by the bow-thruster, and tied up
- thanks to some cruisers that were walking by and stopped to help (by the way they have a Tayana 52 and LOVE it – Jill and Bob (my sister and brother-in-law)…they wanted you to know that – and for those who may not know – Bob designed that sailing vessel and many others that we find out cruising). I jumped ashore and was making sure all lines were secure when I noticed a crab pot buoy and line wrapped around the anchor!
Oh dear! We had carried the pot and little critters down the Elizabeth River!
Not happy they were…
some might say “feisty”…blue crab...and very good tasting! BUT…true story…we let them go…
We had a lot to do before Dennis got there and we headed out to sea!
