Still disappointed with the Verizon cloud for the I-pad as it only allows download/visual of photos backed up from the I-pad. Meaning I can't download photos stored in my cloud account as uploaded from my desktop, android, etc. Was supposed to be able to access the cloud from all my devices - sucks. I have to e-mail photos and open them with the device.
Went North to Exmore, about 30 miles to look for a launch ramp further up the bay. Found one near Exmore. Left on 183 Occohannock Neck Rd off US route 13. Then A right on Morely's Wharf Rd.
Ok, but a long drive from the Sunset Beach Motel. Or was it? Today was a super high tide and the parking lot was under water. Couldn't see the ramp. Would b a mess to return at high tide and not be able to find the ramp. Bill says it would be ok as there wouldn't be any backing down the ramp. Just drive the boat on the trailer if it hadn't floated away.
More later,
OK, it's later and had to leave the room for some air because the neighbor is cooking a huge prime rib in a charcoal barbe. Would be good if we were invited, but not a chance. So, we get the lighter fluid fumes! :(
Bill says that our cook will be here on Thursday. Raymond does it great, but was asking if we had the good eats located?
Maybe I should provide more info about launches here abouts for the bay side. The one near Exmore is described earlier. Kiptopeke has a generous parking lot that is above flood tide. The dock isn't! Be prepared for waiding if a flood tide. Get a state year pass for Kiptopeke and save a bundle if Ya got a handicap permit. Otherwise. Fees range from $7 weekdays and maybe $9 for weekend. Busy weekends can have a long launch time.
Cape Charles is a great free public ramp that fills fast. We go there to get further North in the bay. Also, it's about the only place to get expensive alcohol free fuel. Ya can get it on the water, but only during open ours. If Ya want after hour fuel, ya can register a credit card and have an access code and also use your pin to fuel. As I mentioned, it's a buck more than regular. Think we should research for another station that has alcohol free fuel.
Finally, keep in mind where a great boat shop is located on US 13 East side just North of the turn off to Cape Charles.
Whoops, don't forget about Chris' Bait and Tackle where ya can get eels and register citations. Check the face book site to see yerself in print.
For lodging, we do a monthly fisherman's rate. Now about $40 plus tax. Sunset Beach is pretty good about a refund if the weather sends everyone home. The rate includes a continental breakfast, adequate boat an auto parking. A fish cleaning station is available where ya can wash yer boat down. A Shell station North of rhe Food Lion has a boat wash station next door. Maybe nice to know.
Have to check up on my SeaTow policy. Hopefully never neded, but ya never know.
OK, fingers need a rest . . .and so it goes.
Well, the Dewayne Lamb crew next door celebrated their Rockfest wins with the prime rib. Just before bed, came a knock on the door and I was gifted a huge perfectly cooked prime rib. Bill and I had settled to the fact that we had 8 wings to share.
Great to have generous fishing neighbors. Hopefully Capt. Dewayne will show us the way next time we can get on the water.
