Repairs complete at Bohemia Bay

Reunion is recapatated

The last piece of the canvas work went up today.  It all looks great.  Canvas Plus does an excellent job and we would recommend them to anyone.  They replaced our 1” stainless ribs with 1.25” and changed the shape of the top.  It is about a foot lower than the previous Bimini, providing more shade and lower exposure to the wind.  It is also possible now to wipe it down without standing on something.  The wicked storm has been resolved with the best possible results.  We are thankful for an excellent response from our Progressive insurance agents and inspectors, a great canvas maker(Canvas Plus) and Bohemia Bay Yacht Harbor provided a really good deal on dockage for our stay.

We did make a foray to nearby Middletown for groceries and the country area we drove through is filled with giant horse farms.  Acres and acres of green pasture, outlined with wooden fences and populated with beautiful thoroughbred horses.  It looks a little like Wisconsin, with broad green fields and clean, well-kept red barns and white houses.  The absence of silos is the discernible difference.

One other interesting item at this marina is the frequent odd, sudden loud slap against the pier or the boats.  Apparently this is spawning season and some sort of large fish in this water flings themselves against the hard objects to shake their eggs loose in the water.  Kind of startling but the natives say it lasts for a week or two in early June.

Maybe a Channel Catfish
