Henry

A strong line of thunderstorms passed over us durnig the night.  Lots of lightning, rain and wind.  Our anchor held  thanks to the 45 lb CQR with 120' of chain and setting it properly.  Not so the boat in front of me.  It drug anchor to within 10 ft. of our boat.  The storm passed and we relocated to a spot about 100 yards up stream and the owner of the other boat came to reset his anchor so all is well.  We went into town to register with the dockmaster (the authority over the dock and harbor here in Annapolis) and do our lanudry.  The dockmaster is located just in front of the U. S.Naval Academy.  We had lunch on the grounds and walked around a bit.  Back at the boat, our newest BFF Stanley came over to talk.  After a couple glasses of wine he started to leave and his dingy motor would not start. A lot of attention was given to "Henry" the dingy motor. After many verbal  assults to Henry it still would not start. Boat owners name things.  I think it gives you a closer relationship with a much needed inanimate object.  Our auto pilot is Squeeky.  Our GPS is Lilly.  So I ask Stanley why his outboard was named Henry.  He said he had a man that worked for him named Henry that continued to let him down.  So he felt is was appropriate to name the motor HENRY!!  Pictured is Stanley and helper Brad toasting Henry.
