Wow, so we don’t need to tell you what’s happening. We arrived back to our Atlanta headquarters expecting William to come home for a week’s worth of spring break. Sure we’d heard about the virus in China but nothing make us expect that our life, our investments and our plan to boat for a year on the great loop would be thrown into turmoil. Sheesh!
We spent the most of the month of March in the HQ hunkered down. Melanie continued her work but Rick just flounced around bored most of the time....he needs SOMETHING TO DO. As of March 28th we are back on the boat, but have no further plans. Claire has joined us and has already helped with the projects we’d planned. We changed out blinds on the portholes (windows for you non- nautical folks) and did some sewing projects. Blue Horizon looks so cute. Thanks to our friends on Scout for hooking us up with the right kind/color of blinds. It adds a nice bit of sophistication.
We are in the Palm Cove Marina in Jacksonville Beach and will stay for a couple of weeks more at least. The idea of doing the great loop is to be able to be a tourist, traveling up the coast, exploring towns, museums and enjoying restaurants along the way. Since everything is basically closed we’re not sure what our goal is and what we should do..
We will keep you posted!
Perhaps you should change your goal, and attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean instead. I'm sure there must be some place safe in Europe you could land.
ReplyDeleteWe need you to come along as crew, if we cross an ocean
DeleteWho could have predicted this huh? A chance to stay in place they say. Yes, but what if one is an introvert? I say. Looking forward to your return later this month when Richard will learn the layout of the half-a-Home Depot in great detail!
