It Takes All Kinds to Keep the Rum Flowing
Just like last Sunday the surf was a little rough on the flats. We put in at noon at the Athens launch site. Got a little cocky when we saw the rock piles underwater and assumed high tide was come and on it's way out. We sailed north past the tip of Middle Ground Island and out of safety zone.
Notice the pirate flag? Friends not foe. Playing Skynard loudly as they past I realized not all rum runners are civilized like myself! It takes all kinds to protect the flats. I am glad for the help.
Little did I know I misjudged the tide flow and instead of riding back down to harbor with the tide I paddled three miles against it during a strong flow. You know the joke about flying into town and your arms being tired. I actually felt like i flew into town and my arms were actually tied. Moral of the story.............check the tide charts before going out. Had I waited one more hour I would have had the tide flowing with me both ways.

Bringing Jr. Along For a Tour
He is still scared of the dark..............but PW Jr. today piloted his own vessel on the mighty Hudson searching for vermin. We did find some just after launch. Seems the replica of the Haalve Moon Mr. Hudson's vessel was commandeered by enviro-pirates under the guise of Riverkeeper.
Upon seeing us they launched a scout boat to buzz us. Seems they did not fall for our disguise as tree huggers in kayaks.
Oh well incident avoided and the rum still flows...............

New Members of Fleet Sail w/o Incident
Saturday afternoon I and Mrs. Mutiny took our new stealth vessels out for a test sail on the Middle Ground. While always taking fire from rogues when out in the flag ship vessel these new lower profile vessels incurred no wrath from the wackos rouges and misfits.
We are very happy with the performance of our Acadia 11.5s. They will become a welcome asset to our rental fleet that launches in spring 2009
