August 2024

August began hot as we expected.  We continued to enjoy all the activities of Colonial Beach with our friends in town.  While enjoying, we also planned a long weekend to Aquia Harbour, VA where the local yacht club, Aquia Harbour Yacht Club, had organized a fun-filled weekend that included a crab and Bar-B-Q feast.  The best part of the weekend though was visiting with boaters.

Boating friends we enjoyed the Crab Fest with.

After the Dog Day’s event we had to take care of basic living type stuff but looked forward to going to Crisfield MD to attend the Boating Cowboy Rodeo where Chesapeake Bay work-boats competed to be the fastest boat to tie up and moor in a slip.  The event also included a crab-picking contest, music all weekend, and plenty of time to tour the town and visit with boaters.  See some of the pictures we took and then a video of one of the work-boats competing in the Cowboy Rodeo.
