Foxy is coming to St Michaels

This is a heads-up for Chesapeake Bay cruisers...a really rare opportunity.  At least I think so.  


FOXY FROM JOST VAN DYKE TO PERFORM AT

ST. MICHAELS, SEPT. 11 AND 12








Foxy Callwood, owner of the well-known "Foxy's Tarmarind Bar" on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands, will perform his songs on September 11 and 12 in St. Michaels.  Foxy is a well-known to the sailing community worldwide and his bar and restaurant has been a must-stop in the islands for 50 years.

     The event is a fundraiser for the Jost Van Dyke Preservation Society to help restore the island which was reduced to rubble after the Category 5 Hurricane Irma last year.  

     "The Caribbean Nights" will be held on the two days for two sessions each: one at 3 pm and the other at 6 pm, at Foxy's Harbor Grille on Mullberry St.  Foxy and his bar on Jost Van Dyke was the inspiration for the Grille when it opened 20 years ago.  

      In addition to Foxy, the Trinidelphia Caribbean Band will be performing for two hours and a special Caribbean menu is being served.

I went crazy and bought a whaler...





Gotta go out on the water and Balboita is in Florida as our marina queen.  So, an Annapolis neighbor put his Dauntless up for sale along with his lift in our marina.  I can't resist a turn-key situation at this stage in life.

So...…this is my summer boat.  This is also my "travel" budget, since I can't stand packing.

THE PAIN OF RAIN...

Annapolis partially underwater off and on for a week or so.  



Rained so much that the Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River had to be opened, liberating gobs of logs, baby carriages, trash cans, and tires, making the Bay dangerous for boating this week.  


And then the sun came out.  This is the weekend view from the Eastport Yacht Club at the entrance of the Severn River.

MARCH PHOTO SHOW IN VERO...

"Where There's Water" is the title of the exhibit of Vicki's and Barry's work and it includes a sampling of photos taken while cruising the Chesapeake, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Bahamas.

THE BEES BE WELL...




Barry estimates that he has about 160,000 bees right now.  He counted them.  And they are happy bees, living the spa life with solar powered fans and Barry's homemade sugar syrup.  We expect honey in return.

That's all folks...
