DVL,

I know the feeling .... last year on Labor Day I had to go to Cape May, NJ to help bring my friends 43' Tri home to Annapolis. So I hopped the CapeMay-Lewes Ferry over to Cape May w/ my foulies, a change of clothes, and my sailing gear bag. I was to meet the "dink" at the dingy dock at the Lobster House ... so there I was walking through the Lobster House's dining room to the schooner "America" ... crossing midships to the far side, to the gangway down to the "dingy dock" ... I was wearing my Gill Offshore Jacket, a lifejacket hanging from my shoulder with my gearbag up on top of my shoulder .... I could feel everyones eyes following me .... and hear the whispers ... "Look at that guy, what's he doing??? Where's he going??? .... I walked proud ... and puffed my chest out ... No-one said a word to me ....

They all would leave by car ... I was leaving by boat ...
