Or
Deltaville boasts boatloads of boats, numerous world-class marinas and one wonderful baseball stadium made of crab pot wire and wood.
I've come to a conclusion here lately about houses, boats and baseball stadiums: the best ones are made of wood.
The other night, I had the privilege of going out on a work boat, a very special one that has lots of meaning for last year's Blog Fest attendees...
...who will recognize the captain.
Work boats, for the unfamiliar, are solid wood, complete with incredible sounds and smells that can never, ever, be experienced on a fiberglass boat.
My eternal thanks to Ms. Ann Marie and The Captain for this excellent excursion and the opportunity to experience the sights and smells of a way of life that, like the old wooden farmhouses and baseball stadiums, is goin' away from here.
p.s. I'm having problems with the Comment Section today. Comments are being made and I see them in my e-mail inbox, however they aren't posting to the blog. Thank you for commenting even if they seem to be evaporating - I can read them and do appreciate them.

WV is fecib...it's late, I'm tired, and all my creativity, if there ever was any in the first place, is gone!
Pretty sure that top boat was The Minnow.
Little buddy.

Not about the captain. or the wood (i have a dirty mind). but you know!
you are very very welcome!!!!
We all enjoyed it.. would not have been the same with out you there.
my comment was eaten by Gustav!!!
Anyway I said you are very welcome and it would not have been the same without you guys there.. and ANY time you are up for a little cruise around the greater New Point Area you let me know I will hook you up with a stinky.. I mean a wooden boat ride.
WV Ovenesqu.... a new cleaner we will use on the oven after we squer Gustav...
Deltaville was once hailed as the Boat Building Capital of the Chesapeake so said the sign there at the entrance of Jackson Farm Lane (where the Deltaville Assoc. building is located). But they took down that sign a few years ago.
I would eat nachos any where!
I can never believe how many boats end their days sitting in the middle of a field. It's always sad.
Go on now, and convert that boat. I'll come eat nachos on it when you're done and are sure all the snakes and other things are gone from it.
CGK... you can get excited about the captain if you like... he won't mind but your hubby may :)
The comment thing is everywhere .. its Blogger's version of ... getting too close to Plumpkin ...
anyway ..
Yes, people do eat nachos and a boat parked on land would be a great place to eat them
LOVE the Sharon H and Re and The Captain!
I cannot wait!!!!
I totally remember that boat! And that water.... and that captain!
And Binky, who wanted nothing to do with me.
I can't wait to see everyone again and make new memories!
WV- dusip. Phonetically, it would be used in a sentence such as dusip on a cider while floating in Bud's Bay!
Oh my! What a boat! Convert that into a little bed/breakfast and it would be rented the year 'round.
Darn, I'm hating that I won't get to come to your Blogfeast, oops, Blogfest. I would eat nachos and drink beer in front of Gustav, even..
I am soooo excited! Can we tour that boat site this year?
