You can't fool mother nature...but she sure can fool you!

A Pictorial Story of our day today.

We were crossing (AGAIN) back to the East Shore from Solomons Island.  This was our second front of the day. The first one skirted us and we were confident this one would too.  But you know mother nature...she decided to spin the wind pretty much around the clock a time or two and kick it up a notch or two.

and...Bob thought 'this does NOT look good!'

Notice the seas behind us..and multiply by 2 when they are right next to you. I'm with Bob...and we are ready if we 'turn turtle' as the captain would say.  Turn turtle is nautical in Gary speak for rolling over (for anyone wondering).

Notice the captain's life jacket..not in an appropriate place Bob & I say.  We didn't roll but it rained so hard the cushions were soaked and sliding off the benchs....with the curtains closed!

The dripping wet 1st mate after the storm.  Wet from slipping and sliding from the bridge to the cabin and back turning on lights,  freeing up the jammed anchor windlass, etc.  ( I made this picture small because I look like a drowned rat, you get the idea.)
