And Back to the Chesapeake – Day 24

Hello boys and girls, today is Friday and I have been here at Barefoot Landing Marina for almost a week now.  During the week I did little minor maintenance things, checking things mostly, and since I have internet access I was able to download a newer version of the navigation chart on my chartplotters and install it on both.  On Wednesday Rick and his friend Brian came and picked me up.  We went back to the house they are staying in in Murrells Inlet.  There are six guys staying there while they play golf all week.  Wednesday happened to be an off day for Brian and Rick to rest up, so I hung with them for the day, and was able to catch up on my laundry.  They also took me to a grocery store so I could stock up on several things.  Jan will be here tomorrow late afternoon and we will be leaving first thing Sunday morning.  The weather so far looks favorable so that will make things easier on the tenderfoot until she gets her sea legs under her after a few days. 

It should take us about 10 days to get back to Rock Hall.  We will be anchoring out most of the time, stopping at a marina only two or three nights I believe, so internet access will be pretty scarce during that time.  And, since we will be anchoring out most nights, Jan will get some practice handling the windlass and washdown duties.

 

Barefoot Landing is a pretty big place, it is pretty much a shopping mecca and is built in the middle of a lake and is divided into two sections with boardwalks across the lake to get from side to side.  Along the sides of the lake there are reeds and “shore brush” along with signs to not go near the water because there are snakes and alligators in the lake.  Nice to know.

 

I am looking forward to getting back home, it’s been quite a while since I was there, and there are a lot if things I need to catch up on there, not to mention the boat will need some TLC.

So boys and girls,  I will let you know my progress as I can, so stay tuned.

Until then……

P.S. Hi Tyler
