January 16, 2011 - Breakfast at Crisfield
Today some of the Essex Skypark pilots were flying down to Crisfield, Maryland for breakfast. The temperature was in the 30's, not too bad. In the end, only Brian& Fletcher in his Brian's Cherokee and myself & Whitey in the RV ended up going.
Brian wanted me to get an aerial shot of his Cheorkee. We're headed south down the Eastern Shore. It was kind of misty so the visibility was no great shakes.
On the ground at Crisfield
Airport. Bruce R. in his RV-8 showed up about 30 minutes after
us.
The Crisfield FBO. The
town, where the restaurants are, is a couple of miles from the
airport. We had planned on the restaurant providing transportation
but it turns out the restaurant was closed for the season!
Fortunately, a local CGS Hawk pilot named Roger gave us a ride to and from
the restaurant -- nice guy!
We had a nice breakfast at "The
Cove". 30-40 years ago, Crisfield was known as the "Seafood Capitol
of the World". But its fortunes declined as the Bay was fished
out.
Let's just say Bruce R. and I had fun on the way home, both our passengers not minding pulling some G's!
You know it has been a cold winter when the Chesapeake Bay starts icing up.
