This morning the wind was howling out of the North, the air was cold, and it was raining. Jane woke with a full blown head cold which Peter had last week. She is spending the day in bed sleeping and taking vitamin C. Peter is doing some grocery shopping. The marina guys are really nice...offered to drive Peter to the grocery store. On a day like this, when you are sick, it's really nice to have a warm comfortable cabin and saloon (opps...typo, I meant salon). We really are happy to have bought this boat for the comfort factor alone.
Two spaces along the dock from us is a boat from Newport, Seafari II, with a family of 4. They have been living aboard since August, docked in NEB to have some work done, and are also heading South for the first time. They are planning to head straight to the Carribbean from Norfolk with the help of a few friends from Newport. Peter is looking at the charts of Delaware Bay. Once again there is so much shoaling and shallow areas on eith side of the shipping channel....and the river is HUGE!!! Timing the tide and wind will be everything on this trip. NOAH has small craft warnings up today and tomorrow for the entrance to the bay with 6+ foot waves. Not to mention the waves kicked up by commercial ships!
