Since the last post we have moved locations from Junction, Texas to Beaufort, North Carolina. We've been working on getting the boat ready to move it. Oh, and guess what, there's been a change in those plans too. Originally we listed the boat with a friend of ours who is a broker in St Petersburg, Florida. We were going to move the boat to Florida to have it closer to her and in a better market. Unfortunately we weren't able to find a reasonably priced marina on the east coast of Florida and we didn't want to take the time required to move the boat all the way to St Petersburg. So lets go the completely opposite direction! We've found a place and a broker in Deltaville, Virginia on Chesapeake Bay. So now the plan is to move the boat up there. We've hired a delivery captain to go with me (Brian) up the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) to Deltaville. Susan and Duncan will drive up to get us and return us to Beaufort. Confused yet? So am I.
We got back to the boat this past Saturday and planned to put it back in the water on Monday. The weather forecast made that not an attractive option so we changed the splash date to tomorrow, Friday the 7th and start our journey north the next day. But Mother Nature still isn't cooperating. We've had several days this week with some pretty good thunderstorms. That's an oxymoron. When we didn't have thunderstorms the wind has been blowing gale force. Today we moved out the splash date to Saturday, hoping the wind will finally have subsided by then. Sunday we'll start up the ICW. It should take us four or five days to get to Deltaville. It'll only take Susan six hours.
Struggling to find some pictures to include with the post, since some of followers only look at the pictures, I've included a shot of Good Morning Vietnam as she sits waiting to get wet again and a screenshot from my phone showing the wind forecast for today and tomorrow. We're really getting tired of this wind.
That's all for now. Take care.
Susan and Brian
