HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KEITH & MERRI!



Leaving Gloucester Point




US Coast Guard

At 9 am the three boats set course for Deltaville 38 miles up the coast. Close to the half way point Quest lost its oil pressure in one transmission so limped into port on one engine. Carl maneuvered her into the face dock without any problem then secured her for the night. The good news is ------ the oil pressure problem was quickly diagnosed with a promise for it to be repaired at the beginning of tomorrows work day!

With the pressure of the unknown removed we all got our swimming suits on and headed for the pool. The marina has great facilities so after the swimming was over a cook out was put together. I supplied a box of wine which turned out to be very good. Considering glass bottles can break and are heavy, boxed wine is probably the way to go in the future! The marina also had a Captains lounge so the six of us headed there after eating for a movie night on the big screen television. The DVD player wasn’t working so we called it a night.



With luck, Quest will be repaired early in the day and we can all travel together to Tangier Island. Tangier Island is across the bay from where we are now moored.
