Fuelin' Up, the Rogue's session log.

Burnin' gas. Yamaha made for a fast jet to Ocean Downs waterfront, Herring Creek. 6/13/2023


     Changing the job profile. Time off in between. DP presented the perfect opportunity. Gassed up his jet ski for summer runnin.' Trip to the OP Marina Fuel Dock, then a quick run back in the Herring Creek area (well...as quick as I could make it at 55-60mph.). Rippin' thru the back bay. Isle of Wight wetlands, herons, and plenty of canals. Smooth trip. Water in the 70s. Air in the lower 80s. Semi-light wind ripple to the surface. Joined DP on a fish trip out to the Assawoman thoroughfare in the PM. Stoke filled day on the backside of the Cape.
In flight...Blue Heron lift-off. Isle of Wight wetlands, 6/13/2023.
     One of our newer breweries on the shore. Ocean View Brewing, in Ocean View, DE. Wanna clean, crisp beer, to throw back a few of after a fast AM on the water? "Got Waves?" Kolsch is just the ticket! A pale lager that poured a bright, straw-yellow, with a finger-plus bubbly white head. Pepper and light fruit in the aromas and taste. Crisp and refreshing in the finish. No real "Wow" factor, but in warmer weather, after a day on the water? Worth more than one at a time. Rated a B-/B.  
Well, I ain't gonna work today
Just wanna sit around and play
Gonna hit balls off the dock
Kick back in my flip-flops
Don't owe nothing to the lender
Nothing spinning in the blender
The only thing on my agenda is
Beers and sunshine.
