Well it’s been an interesting few weeks since we left National Harbor October 19th. We took our time motoring down to Deltaville Boatyard over three days and arrived on the 21st. Between sailing regattas and pods of dolphins we enjoyed the trip.
We thought we’d be in Deltaville a week or so for anticipated repairs. One week turned into two. Then we were into week three and finally departed DBY Tuesday. The good news is that our “honey do” lists have gotten much smaller as we had plenty of time to clean and fix the things that we can do.
We spent ten days in a hotel while the boat was “on the hard”. My comment at the time was that the Laa Dee Dah is a boat, not an airplane. It isn’t supposed to be in the air. Just doesn’t look right.
We also met some lovely people on other boats waiting for repairs on their boats to be finished. Every day we checked in to see who would be the first to depart south. I think we were the first with another boat close on our heels.
Two days on the ICW and we’re now anchored just south of Coinjock, NC. Two days of rain, cold and otherwise miserable weather but we’re moving south so have decided not to complain too much. The days are short so we aren’t traveling as far each day as when we brought the boat up in June.
We’ll be on the ICW until Beauford NC when we’ll go offshore, weather permitting.
