Firey Lite Wednesday

Early tee time this am......

Did you see the volumes of black smoke yesterday evening? MFO alerted me and we put the scope on the source and saw the pier where the Navy Ship is berthed by the solomon’s bridge was afire. Eventually it burned to the shore and not quite to the end. For a long time there was no response and finally the little red boat from (?) came out and began using a soda straw size stream at it (a more colorful description comes to mind, but for the sake of decency I’ll let you think about it yourself) as it burned out of control. Another eventually, and finally the tugs from Solomon’s came out and really put some serious water on it, but by that time the pier was pretty well destroyed. Another eventually, and they managed to get the Ship away from the pier, and the port side looked pretty scorched. Last we saw it was limping toward the base. I suppose we'll hear if it weren't for the Solomon's fire and rescue, Calvert County would be a desert this morning.. Remember the Lighthouse??


We'll mention the Taylor Smith in another post.
