5-22-2015 thru 5-25-2015 - Spring Fling Weekend

Another great TMCA Spring Fling!  Thanks to all that helped make this event happen.

Friday afternoon boats started coming in and our docker dude work began.  We docked boats throughout the afternoon and into the evening.  Some of the sailboats that tried to do the offshore run but later decided to turn around to do the ICW started coming in as it was getting dark.  I think the last one, Stellar of Course, arrived around 10:00 PM after I went to bed. 











M/V Beachcomber dressed for the weekend!



The vendors, seminars, food and bands were great!  We did have wind, more than I like.  All day Saturday and Sunday the waves were breaking over the concrete wall that protects the marina making all the boats bounce around.  Yup, all the boats including the large ones, and we had some really big ones.  This continued throughout the night making my sleeping not so great.  Sunday it was still blowing strong and we had some boats that headed out to go home.  Doing this in a sailboat is one thing, doing this in a power boat is another!  Something we would never do.......


Monday early morning was like a parade.  There was a line of boats that left from 6:00 AM to about 7:00 AM, then a few at a time.  The ICW is going to be packed today.  We plan to take the day and chill, then head out tomorrow.

As the day went on the wind picked up again and we were bouncing all over the place.  Relaxing on the boat was out of the question!  Waves were coming over the break water and we had rollers in the marina.  If you went down below you bounced around all over the place and the creaking and jerking would drive you crazy.  I was very surprised Teak did not get sick.  Not a marina that I would leave our boat in for very long.  Let's hope tomorrow morning is calm and we can get out of here!
