Love the pics will send mine

Thanks, Mike. Sure helps us northeasterners whose boats are on the hard. I see that Squint the Very Famous Racing Dingy managed to sneak into one of the photos...nice.

Great pic's mike. I'm not sure I have my favorite yet. Monday prediction is for 65 with winds NNW at 10, mostly sunny with clear overnight and a full moon. It's the Admirals birthday. I'm thinking an early evening sail, supper and champagne on the boat with the full moon. We'll see..... ;D

And it's all thanks to Rich Hutchins and his family.
These taken last week before the cold front came through. One of the best trips of the year. Nice beam reach conditions, steady winds, sailed the five miles from Bay Springs Marina to Crows Neck point, got off the boat and explored the Crows Neck area, then sailed home.
My crew was Dr. Chip Walter, who is my youngest son's FIL. A relative novice he took to it.

I like that 'Crow's Neck' area. Like exploring up river with the African Queen. Is that fresh water?
What is FLI ?
skip.

Yes, fresh water. Bay Springs Lake is part of the Tenn-Tom system formed as a lake by the Whitten lock and dam. The damming caused literally hundreds of fingers and coves to be formed off the main lake. Because the lake is federally owned and managed by the Corp of Engineers, there is no development. Crows Neck Environmental center is one of the only structures on the lake and it is not currently operating. Used to be an environmental camp/classroom for school groups, but funding provided by the community colleges dried up.
You mean FIL? Father in Law. Retired Navy Dr. doing urgent care now, good guy to have on a boat in the event of emergencies. Unfortunately, moving away, heading up to your area, suburb of Milwaukee.
I thought I would try posting one, before I add the rest. First time posting a pic ture here.

Well that seemed to work.
This is my first season with a ComPac 23 - or any ComPac.
