5/2/2017 Hydrophilic is back on the water

After waiting a day for the winds to die down, we headed north from Joyner toward the Chesapeake. It was a beautiful day with sunny, blue skies, warm with no humidity.  As we passed The Tides, I got a picture of our Gold Looper Burgee with The Tides in the background.

Nature came out to great us.  We saw fish jumping and many dolphin.

It seemed as if every marker had a nesting pair of osprey on it.  So happy that they have come back so strongly.

We anchored at Mile Hammock Bay, at the start of Camp Lejeune.  We saw both regular and osprey helicopters then.   This one came in close.

Another looper boat came in.  They are from Tennessee.  They are the Ellis Family and their boat is Ellis Island.  We had a good chat about the crab pot hazards to look for and to plan to eat the roast beef at Coinjock on the other side of the Albemarle.

Tomorrow, we plan a 50 mile day to a small marina.  It is nice to be back on the water.
