A Quiet Sunday with Silver Lining

Pete Andrews - Wednesday, June 17, 2009

Sunday started with some pretty solid rain, basically killing any hope of a busy day, even though the rain stopped well before noon. I was the early captain, as usual on Sunday, and the only job I did all day came in around 1100. It was a 21' Boston Whaler Outrage that had just launched at the East Greenwich Ramp and was heading to her home dock in Greenwich Bay. She overheated shortly after getting underway, tied up at the EGYC fuel dock, and waited for me to arrive.

After a quick and uneventful tow across Greenwich Bay, she was secure and I hung around off Sandy Point for a few hours. Because there was so little activity going on and I had already done a job, I headed toward Wickford around 1430 to give my boat to Capt. Phil who was next up. I became the back-up and Pt. Judith captain for the duration of the day, which allowed me to watch my son Will wrap up his soccer season with a win over Cumberland. He scored twice, and as you can see by the grin, had a great time!
