Wye Dogs?


OK, this is my last play on words with Wye. It's driving Karen nuts ("Wye - we're here - get it Karen, get it?).

In the last 2 days, we've put out some 30,000+ emails between our new newsletter and the fuel update to marinas. Who says you can't do all of this from a boat? Even way out here on the Wye River, we have an outstanding internet connection. We haven't even enabled our DirecTV account yet because we've been able to watch our favorite programs on our laptops. The flip side is that we have no idea what is going on in the world except that there are no named storms from the National Hurricane Center.

Today we took down the dinghy and circumnavigated the entire Wye Island. It took a while - at first I thought it was a couple of miles. It turned into a 7 mile cruise around this incredibly pretty place.

Dyna is feeling all better and back on real food. Dylan still isn't fully well. We're taking it easy on the little guy and he'll be back to normal soon. He couldn't help but lean over the dinghy, watching all the wildlife, but we could tell his heart wasn't really in it. I think he needs one more day of rice before he'll be following Dyna's lead in trying to jump out of the dinghy.

Why the Wye?


I've been told that when God takes a vacation, he goes to the Wye River. I can fully appreciate this now.

It was a long day from Crisfield to the Drum Point anchorage on the Wye River. We've never been on the Wye or in Eastern Bay. We have a few days before SSCA to try it out. It is quite pretty and an excellent anchorage.

The dogs have been sick over the last couple of days. Gastrointestinal sick. It hasn't been fun. They are both on a diet of rice and are starting to look better. They either caught something from one of the many dogs they played with in Crisfield or they ate something on the dock.

So we'll explore the area by dinghy tomorrow if possible. It might just end up being a chicken soup kind of rainy day though.
