Comegys Bight

      Comegys Bight could be called a "bay" on the Chester River and also a anchorage that no one uses. This past weekend Sharon and I enjoyed a spectacular 3 days there. Although the anchorage may not provide protection from storms, it does offer an openness that most cruisers will pass up.

Double Feature

      Every sunset has its merits. This sunset in the above photo would not make the top one hundred. So what made this evening's sunset so memorable? How about a mirror image of the sun in the east!

      As the sun was setting in the west, the above photo captures a full moon rising in the east. Impossible to view at the same time (east vs. west - unless you have eyes in the back of your head) but still a moment to behold. These 2 photos were taken just moments apart from each other. The contrast of colors is accomplished by using different settings on the digital camera, sunset scene vs. night scene.

Skate (a.k.a. Cownose Ray)

     On the first night of a week long fishing trip I caught this Skate. No official time on how long it took to play this Skate, but it was estimated at 20 minutes on 10lb. test monofilament line. Landing it was just as big of a challenge. First, the Ray had no desire to swim into the net. Did I mention the net was too small? And when we did net it, it took 2 of us to lift it onto the cockpit deck. The Ray was returned to Langford Creek with no injuries other than a sore "lip".
