After three days of travel we are in Coinjock. We are attempting to reach Belhaven NC tomorrow….. But it’s really a stretch. It didn’t register that this time of year daylight hours are limited. In the past Susan and I have traveled during daylight savings time and could expect at most 12 to 14 hours of travel…..at best now we can do ten hours. It makes a big difference in distance.
We spent the first two day traveling south on the Chesapeake Bay. The weather was unbelievable. Mild winds and warm temps made for a wonderful trip south to Norfolk. We stopped in Deltaville the first night and had guests Debbie Price, and Bill and Susan Stein Humphreys spent the night with us. After a great meal on board we drank ourselves to sleep….. The second night we made Great Bridge and Susan’s son Jeffrey King and Brice Skinner visited and we grilled steaks. We found cheap diesel @ 1.93.9 per gallon and topped off the tanks.
Today we started our run “down the ditch”. Started quiet but by late morning winds were howling out of the south. Made a short day of it and stopped here in Coinjock.
Our adventure has started. After talking about this for years, Susan and I are fulfilling our dream.
I’m trying to start a blog but I’m not there yet.
Thanks to all our friends who have helped us, supported us and pushed us. We want you all to come down and visit and experience the love we have for the islands. Just don’t all of you come at the same time….lol
