Gerrit Gillespie Photography - Chesapeake Boating with Bob

Chesapeake Boating with Bob - June, 2007 While I was in VA for a class, I hooked up with a navy buddy from my first ship, the David R. Ray. Bob and I had not seen each other in 22 years, not much had changed, he looked older, I looked older and fatter. :) We were best buds back in the mid-80's, I was the photographer at his first wedding at Presidio Park here in SD. We did a WESTPAC together, hung out for 2 or 3 days in Pattaya Beach, Thailand. Ahh, those were the days. I drove from Fairfax to the marina in Maryland and spent the weekend boating, eating and partying - great time. Well, except when the engine died and we lost all electrical. We got it fixed, teamworkers again.

Chicks on deck	Boat fire in the next harbor	Shack along Magothy River, I think.	Spiders are friends to boaters, keep the skeeters down.
Plenty of snooze room in the forward cabin	Cap'n Bob on the throttle	Human sail or mast repair?	We two in rear-view.
