Thai Hot Rendezvous

Thai Hot

October 21st 2011 - In order to give the seas on the Chesapeake a little more time to settle, we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast in the morning.  Slowly we raised our anchor and gave it a good wash down after being dug in the mud for a few days. We noticed the faucet on the foredeck just doesn't open as much as it's supposed to, time for a new one. If we want to anchor that faucet definitely needs to be replaced.
 Just as we were coming out of Mill Creek the captain hailed our friends Bob and Laura aboard Thai Hot on the radio to see if they had left. Sure enough they were directly across heading down Ingram Bay. We knew they were in the area and our destinations were the same for the day.  Bob and Laura are on a 2 year trip to the BVI aboard their Island Packet. They too belong to the Harlem Yacht Club on City Island. Once we spotted them it became a great photo opportunity.
It was a relatively short trip to the Regatta Point Marina in Deltaville. Each time we looked back we could see that Thai Hot was having a great sail. We were getting small waves on the beam and the Summer Wind gets pushed slightly to the side.
We made a turn west into the Rapahonick and came upon a group of watermen. Lines were everywhere in the water and we were wondering how they didn't tangle up with one another. It seemed to be a very pretty amazing dance.
Shortly after we were tied at the docks then Thai Hot was making way to her slip. I needed to get some laundry underway and Dick and the crew of Thai Hot made a run to West Marine. At sunset we enjoyed lovely champagne and appetizers aboard the bridge of the Summer Wind. That evening Kokomos restaurant picked us up and it was a great evening with wonderful company. Thanks so much Laura and Bob. We hope you have a great adventure!!
