Cruising on Toppsoff
Feb. 6, 2010…
While waiting on the weather to improve for sailing, we went out for a boat ride on our friend’s 42′ Silverton
.
Since there were virtually no other boats on the water, the Coasties didn’t have much else to do, so they boarded us. I took the helm, while Jon (boat owner) was below getting his documentation when I was asked to show the horn works, but it didn’t. A quick change of fuse and we were honking. Jon’s boat ultimately “passed with gold” and the CG were really friendly.
After that experience, we cruised over to Ft. McRee, which is where we like to stay overnight often on the boat. It was vacant, so we pulled right up to the beach and hopped off the bow for some goofing off.
Upon returning to the marina, it was time for some Joe Patti salmon, shrimp, mullet, good booze and friendship.
