In nearly 6 years of boating on Lucky Us, we were boarded today for the first time. Personally, I think that they thought that the Admiral looked "suspicious". The Texas Parks and Wildlife Ranger was very courteous and left quickly after checking life preservers and the registraton (sticker).
There were many dolphin along the ICW, and they "played" both in the bow wave and along side. They are difficult to photograph, but the Admiral spent a lot of time watching them play. She did capture their antics in the attached video...
We arrived in Port Mansfield, TX after our longest ever one day's run of 88 nm (or about 100 miles). The marina only had small transient slips. So we managed to fit the boat into a slip that is only 9 (nine) inches wider than the boat (see picture). As you can see, we actually overhang the dock at midships, and of course, the stern is sticking out about 10 feet.. We would hope to never do this again!!!
At the end of the day we did have a really good dinner, which can make everything look better...
