Dear Hanna: Go suck an egg.
My excited anticipation of this weekend has turned to abject disappointment as the call has just been made not to risk bringing the Heel to St. Michaels this weekend. My grandfather made the decision, and as tropical storm Hanna is looking to barrel right up the Chesapeake in the next 24 hours, it’s the prudent thing to do.
Still, it’s an extremely bitter pill to swallow, as we’d all really been looking forward to this weekend ever since last year’s Heritage. Now that it’s definitely not going to happen, I realize just how much I was going to enjoy heading out on the water with all my buddies. Oh well.
Many thanks to all the people helping us to get on the water this weekend–in particular the greenhorn crew themselves, fellow Silver Heeler’s Peter Esslinger and Joe Adams, Lark’s Mike Keene, who was a great help over on the MRYC side of things, and of course my grandparents. Too bad it didn’t work out.
Mother Nature has her way with us once again. That’s the game, I suppose.
