Still in Deltaville! Ughhhhh. The fiberglass repair on the stern is done….however, the gelcoat color did not match, so they had to sand off the wrong color and are trying to get one that matches. I had a pity party for a day or two about being stuck here. Then I realized that even our worst day on this voyage is far better than 99% of peoples’ best day in the rest of the world. We continue to make great friends and have relaxed schedules every day. By relaxed I mean eat, nap, read book, nap, eat, run to grocery store or go to pool, nap, eat, etc.
A few days ago we went to a local bar (by dinghy) to watch our fiberglass repairman (Toby) do a gig there. He has a degree in trumpet, but he also plays the tuba. So of course, he’s a boat repairman!!! They had a great keyboardist, Michael, and an awesome guy (Roger) on the sax. It was a hoot!!! Better jazz/blues than we heard while in New Orleans. Roger also sings skat and old Dixie. Everyone in these small bars gets to know everyone ‘new’ and people just move from table to table to get acquainted or catch up on life. The evening was topped off with our dinghy ride back to the boat in the dark and the rain. I was at the front with our massive spotlight, laughing and shining the light on all the boats with sleeping people inside, till Derek told me that wasn’t cool! Hey, I make my own fun.
Now we have tropical storm Cindy to contend with. It will be hitting the Chesapeake area on Saturday. So our delay is now related to weather. We decided since we have paid for our covered slip for the month of June to just stay in Deltaville.
Derek and I have moments of ‘going crazy’ just sitting here. We should be in Canada right now. Loopers are still showing up here, so we’re not totally left behind. The boat is a great means to see the sights, but when it’s just our home sitting in a dock for weeks it can become real small. There’s only so many things you can clean. And the TV doesn’t get reception where we’re at. Hence the naps, reading, eating and various sex-capades. Haha. Just kidding (kinda), but wanted to give a little boost this boring blog and make sure you’re still paying attention!!!!
Derek’s birthday was yesterday! We dinghied back to the same bar, and in good Gamradt form, he imbibed a little much. But we had a blast with friends met there.
There’s not much else going on. Hopefully our next blog will include new places and faces and be much more interesting!
We miss our friends and family….and dog! Love you all.
