Lower Bay Lights - 06/21/01 04:42 AM
This past Saturday I went on the Lower Chesapeake Bay Cruise with the Chesapeake Chapter of the USLHS. Overall, the trip was pretty good except that the weather was lousy. At several points in the trip we were stuck in a driving rain storm. I can't seem to buy luck this year on my lighthousing trips. So far I am 2/2 with terrible weather on both cruises. Unfortunately, because of the weather, we weren't able to get to see new point comfort. It is a little dissapointing for me since it was one of the last few lights on the Bay that I haven't seen yet.
Now the good news. I won the raffle that benefited the chapters preservation fund. The prize was HL LE Lady Liberty. So, after investing $5 on raffles tickets, I came out with a $125 prize. So after all the bad weather, it was a nice prize that brightened my day.
Now onto the pictures....

Thimble Shoals--This photo was taken during one of the driving rain storms. I am hoping to get back out to this light this summer to get some better pictures.
