We just got back from the boat. We left Thursday night and came back today (Saturday) . Usually I don't go, but I had something to do in Virginia and had to go. We came back early cause it was suspose to rain today, and tomorrow all day. So there was no sense staying there unable to do anything.
We had a nice drive to Virginia. The place I had to go was about 1 hour from the boat. We passed a few junkyards that Tom noticed, and there were produce markets everywhere. There was alot of cotton fields and the cotton was picked and bundled up ready to go to market. I wish I had my camera to take pictures of it.
It rained all weekend. They must of gotten a hell of a rain before we go there. We did learn there was some leaks on the boat. Made notes on that and put that on the repair list. The water level at the marina is up. How do I know that? Well, being short, I had to straddle the boat to get on to deck. Tom on the other hand still is tall enough to get off the boat with ease. So With the rain, and the water level so high, you knew when I got off the boat, cause my jeans were wet, and it looked like I peed myself everytime I got off. I think I need a stepstool to get on and off the boat.
When we got at Lambs Marina on Thursday night there was a Yacht there. It was huge and Tom said it was from somewhere in PA. They were on their way to Florida, and was at Lambs for a few day. I didn't have my camera, cause shell has it somewhere. Since my appointment was early Friday morning, we didn't get a chance to check it out before we left, and they were gone when we got back. I didn't even get a chance to walk past it that night because I was medicated and half asleep.
I have no idea what I ate at Pizza hut that gave me an allergic reaction, but again my throat was closing and my face was swelling. This started about 45 minutes after we left the resturant. The medicine that I take for that knocks me on my ass, so I was half asleep by the time we got to the boat. At least time I didn't end up the ER and on the massive doses of steroids like last few times it happened.
We are going back to the boat in about 2 weeks. I wanted it one week, but Tom talked my into 2 weeks. It should be interesting, cause Boodles will be going. This will be her 1st time to the boat. Tom thinks she will like it, I am not sure. I personally think a dog on the boat will be a pain. She will have to lifted off the boat and lifted to get on the boat... Oh wait, it's the dog not me, he will make special adjustments for her to get on and off the boat easily.
We got the V-berth set up so we can sleep in it, which again is too high for me, I needed that step stool again. Some days it's hell being short. One of the leaks is above the bed in the hatch. That needs fixed due to water dripping while you are trying to sleep. This is the 1st time that it has really rained since we had the boat. We did get rain one night on the way home from Maryland, but we didn't notice any leaks, that or we were too exhausted to notice. The other leak is near the window. That one seems bad. The floor was soaked when we got there. The fan and towels dried it up, but that one defintally needs repaired, and figured out. He says you can only repair the leaks on nice days.... so.... if it's a nice day how do you know where it leaks????
I went to the post office to get a PO box, found out that you need all kinds of identification to get one now, I was going to get it in my name only, but if Tom doesn't go in with the 2 forms of ID NONE of his mail would be delivered there. It never ends. Something about 9/11 and the new rules.
