Ok, so it was the Virginia Cut

Before we left, a friend gave us a little notebook; the cover reads “Bad Decisions Make Good Stories”.  Ok, so it was the Virginia Cut — but not a bad decision.  We pulled up at a free town dock just after the lock, and there was a forty five foot space left between two sailboats.  Yes, we went for it.  Gotta love twin engines and a bow thruster.  Artie parked that boat like he was parallel parking in Manhattan at the last open meter on alternate side parking day.  Even the sailboaters were impressed.  Dinner that night was from — wait for it — food trucks which flock to the little park.  Locals were there, other boaters, it was really a very nice night.  Spontaneous is sometimes best!
