Bill and I left at 8:00 am on Friday morning to head to his mom's in Okeechobee, FL, first we had to stop at Spirt, it seems, she has been sitting on the bottom at the marina come low tide, not good.....well, there isn't much we can do at the moment, we may try to move her to a deeper slip, should there be one.
Anyway, at 7:30PM last night, 40 miles prior to arriving at Dot & Herve's Bill gets the dreaded call: can you come in ASAP to move a tug boat which may have been in an accident, from Norfolk to NY....You all know Bill, a challenge, SURE, what, the Coast Guard is involved, OH, this can't be good. So we call mom, send our apologies, take a good look at GEN, the dog that has been everywhere, and head back 10 hours....this is a nightmare.....
AT 4:30am SAT, we land at the back roads, Rte. 378, SC.....what a trip, I have never seen so many Deer, Ray would love it, grey foxes, rabbits, cows and horses, the roads were filled with everything. Of course, this helped me stay awake and guide Bill along the way....WOW, Gen just wanted to go to sleep but couldn't resist watching out the window for the next animal to appear. Anyway, I am home trying to rest and Bill is on his way to Baltimore. Apparently, both the Captain and Mate were removed by the CG, this can't be good, Bill and another guy named Tom will be relieving them......He should be returning on Wed. only to leave for New Orleans on Sunday for yearly training, boy do I lead a dull life these days. Guess what, GOING GOLFING....
Love to you all.......
