We had a layover day in Portsmith, VA. Unfortunately, since it was a holiday, many things were closed. We still had a good relaxing day. I got a comment about food, mentioning the crabs. We had dinner one night in Annapolis, and when the waitress asked if there was a problem, I said , Yes, I will never have crab as good as this again!
WE left Portsmith today at 8:40 and arrived at Coinjock, NC at 1:45, and got 83 gallons of fuel. This is the real intracoastal, and it is everything I expected it to be, narrow, slow, lots of bridges, very interesting. We were in a convoy of 5 boats. When we tied up at Coinjock, we met with one of the boats, who are on their way to Key West. We are at mile 50 of the intracoastal and our final destination is at mile 315, so we expect to be traveling for a few more days. OUr traveling is much slower now. This is similar to the Charles, or to Cape Cod Canal. Some of it resembled Lake Winnepesauki. The weather today is fantastic, 75 degrees and sunny. David wanted to keep going, but at 1:45 after 5 hours, I said, let's stop and enjoy the beauty, which we did. I am still not tired of this journey and this may become a way of life!
a way of life huh? can i take over the house then?
ReplyDeleteglad you got good crabs.....
THere is nothing like a tray of crabs, the paper table cloth and a pitcher of beer. I brought a dozen live one's home in a bag on one of my trips. Called John from the airport and told him to bring out the pot so we could cook them as some as I got home. Wonder if you can take them as carry on today.
ReplyDeleteYou are missing out on miserable boating conditions here. We did not get out all weekend. Windy, small craft and cold. It was 42 degrees when we got up Monday morning. It's going to rain Friday, Saturday, etc. We are pulling out soon, tide dependent.
A Way of Life!!! Can I come??? Glad to hear everythings going so good! It's getting cold up North! Elaine
