Approaching Bennett's Creek Marina. This looked like a nice place to keep my boat but they didn't have any room.

We've anchored for the night and decided to try our luck crabbing and fishing. Our first crab.

Dad looks ready to take it easy here.

Underway Sunday morning, Dad's getting the coffee ready.

On the way back the wind stopped and we stopped to fish alongside the I664 bridge. Somehow Dad didn't get the pictures of the two fish that I caught. They were big each about two feet long, honest! I forgot to save our track from the GPS, but it was pretty direct. A very nice outing.
