High Wind Blowing — over 25 knots today. Glad we’re tied to a pier. The Neuse River wouldn’t be the place to be with this blow! So, it’s a weather day, for sure. The boat yard doesn’t work Monday so with our weather day we also had a second Sunday. Tomorrow morning we hope the yard can confirm all is ok with the boat and the wind decreases enough to make passage up the Neuse, that’s very wide and really rough in high winds.
We did make a good day of it. Carey used the courtesy car to do some shopping and then cleaning. I did a bit of work. Then we relaxed as the rain started and the wind still howled. In the evening, Carey cooked a great flank steak and with salad and bread — a great meal.
We always knew that in boating you could say we’ll meet you some place or on a certain date, but you never put a place and time together because that’s often leads to unsafe boating. We’re coming to Virginia and Maryland. We’ll get there and we’ll let you know when we do! On this blog, we keep everyone informed. So far we are still on for this coming weekend in Colonial Beach. We’ll see if something changes the schedule tomorrow. Luckily, our folks definitely understand and wish us a safe trip. So looking forward to seeing everybody!
Here is Apolonia at the windy slip and a quick picture of the Town Creek Marina where we are moored.
Looking at the marine weather, I wasn’t confident you’d get out today. As George would say, time to hit the rack and tomorrow is another day to excel…which doesn’t really translate to boating, but what the hey!
