Journey: Triple L Estate – Kingfishers, Solomons Island – Triple L Estate
Time: 3pm – 5 pm
Vessel: 23’ Seaway
Bill, Connie, Lori, Jordan, and me
Bill and Connie came over this afternoon for a belated birthday celebration. After having a few pre-drinks we put the boat in the water to head for Solomons. This weekend is Dry Water Weekend – an effort to crack down on drunken boating. As a precaution we had Jordan captain.
En route we did see Coast Guard as we approached Solomons Island. I truly expected to be pulled over, simply for a ‘courtesy check’. In fact, we all prepared to be boarded. To our surprise Coast Guard did not stop us.
After a fine meal we returned home. We tried to talk Bill and Connie into staying for the night, but they declined.

After Bill and Connie left Lori, Jordan, Sophie and I went back out for an evening at Broomes. Jordan again captained – being responsible during this Dry Water Weekend.
