SPLASH!

SUNSHINE is floating! I had every intention of photographing the launch but when we reached the ramp, several squadrons of green head flies began a coordinated arial assault. Thousands made it through our meager defenses. Between our launching tasks and swatting flies, there was no time to take pictures. Once in the water, the Evinrude E-Tec started right up. By the time we reached Little Egg Harbor Bay (a couple of minutes) there were hundreds of dead green heads littering the sole. We motored about for a bit before heading to our slip.

We’ve been experiencing very low tides for the past few days. At dead low, there are only a few inches of water in our slip. We arrived at our slip in the West Creek Town Dock at 1400 hours. Dead low tide is 1630 hours.We made it into the slip, but the bow was in the mud and we were about six feet from the bulkhead. We tied up and got off. There were only a few green head flies around, nothing like Parkertown! 

Josh and Rose seemed to enjoy the boat ride. The highlight for them was getting splashed on occasion.

Here are a few interior shots of the salon area:
