We are in Westbrook Connecticut on a Swan 77. The boat is amazing. The plan is to leave today to Chesapeake Bay and stay there for 2 days to duck a storm going up North. On 10th we will head towards Bermuda and from there to our final destination St. Martinique. We will probably arrive on 18th or 19th and will stay a few days before we fly back to Salt Lake city to pickup our truck.
Change of plans! I connected with a friend who is working as a skipper. He needs a hand to do a delivery from Connecticut to St. Martinique in the Caribbean. We are driving on Saturday to drive to Connecticut to meet up with the boat. Will spend the Sunday and Monday helping prep the boat and will departure probably on Tuesday. The delivery is supposed to take 8 to 9 days. Fingers crossed there are no more hurricanes.
… You should see Teresa’s shopping list of anti seasickness pills 🙂
At the time it I felt kind of stupid moving our mattress from the 2nd to the 1st floor and sleeping in the middle of the kitchen. However the morning after the storm I felt a bit better about it … Check out some of the damage from fallen trees in the neighborhood. Happy to report all the trees around my sister’s house lived to see ‘another storm’.
Sandy is coming … Waiting for the storm with a glass of rum and tea around the fireplace at my sister’s place. We were in Charleston South Carolina till yesterday for a wedding. We left Charleston at 4pm and made it back to DC around 2:30am. There were hundreds of utility trucks from all kinds of power companies from Florida and SC driving North in preparation for the storm. It was cool to see.
The storm is still hundred miles from the coast it is raining hard and blowing 40mph wind out here. We expect the power to go down and there to be downed trees so we are probably going to sleep on the 1st floor around the fireplace tonight.
