Labor Day Weekend, 2006 - I arrived at Cole's Point Saturday morning to find downed trees, no power, no water, and debris everywhere that had washed in from God knows where thanks to tropical storm Ernesto. I had planned to get the boat cleaned and ready for the Goober's first passengers, but with no power or water, I couldn't get much done.



After what clean-up I could manage, I drove to Tappahannock to meet Chuck & Peggy, Gary & Jean, and Patsy. We got settled into luxurious accommodations, shared a libation or two, and set out for dinner and a visit to the boat. We ended up visiting the boat first and then sharing a great dinner at the Driftwood - the only resturaunt we could find with power!
Sunday, we sailed for 4-5 hours down to the mouth of the St. Mary's on the Maryland side of the Potomac. A good time seemed to be had by all, but the captain was encouraged by the ladies to get the head fixed before the next trip!
