My friend Skip happened to be at West Neck Marina around 3 p.m. yesterday and captured this photo of a boat that just had departed from the dock in front of the West Neck Marina Store. Everything from this vantage point looks normal, but I'm willing to bet that wasn't the case aboard the boat pictured in the distance. You see, the craft had run aground, thanks in no small part to the current low-water conditions. According to Skip, a bass boat had hooked to the stranded boat and tried to pull it free, with no luck. I don't know the outcome of this predicament. If the skipper has to wait for more water to return to the creek, it may be a few days before he can get underway again, based on the winds forecast I've been looking at today.
