This year, we got a beautiful month of mostly sunshine and minimal rain (once the great inundation was over), leading to many boats in the water and (purportedly) ready-to-go for Memorial Day Weekend. As a result, we were very busy, completing over 30 operations over the three days. That number is right about average for a normal summer weekend, but higher than normal for a Memorial Day Weekend. Following are a few snaps from my travels over the past holiday weekend.
A little zoom-zoom Saturday morning for this center console, going from Sandy Pt. Prudence Island to the Weaver Cove Ramp.
Entering Wickford Harbor with a 30' Tollycraft on the hip late in the day.
This Irwin 37 ran out of fuel, and then ran aground trying to sail to the fuel dock. Murphy never lets you get away with running out of fuel. ;-)
Anchor made some new friends, too. This young lady needed a tow from Gaspee Point into Edgewood Yacht Club, and gave Anchor a back scratch for a tip!
My weekend wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Haines Park ramp, and these folks were kind enough to provide the excuse I needed.
